Weekend without Lulu

This past weekend (Aug 21-23) Lulu went to "RAT CAMP"--a place where she hoots and hollers with her new staff members and the other RA's and residence life staff members from different areas of the campus to see which area yells the loudest (not surprisingly, she came back having lost her voice)...meanwhile, on the home front, Daddy and the kids had lots of fun.  On Saturday, we swam in the YMCA pool.  Carlita recently passed her swim test, so she can swim and go down the big slide all by herself!  Daddy is so proud of her (yeah, she swims like a dog, but she's swimming)!  And she loves that slide...she must have gone down it like fifty times in a row--the lifeguards were cracking up!  Sunday, we went to the Delaware Children's Museum--we had fun climbing, jumping, hanging, making art projects, playing with water, going down slides, dancing, playing with toy trains, and listening to a story...you name it, we did it.  Poor Daddy had a hard time keeping up with them--Little Lukey was motoring around like a locomotive!  In and out, in and out...and Daddy thought it was hard chasing after those marathoners!  After all that excitement, Daddy had to relax, so we spent the rest of the day reading books, coloring, and playing at home (Daddy and Carlita colored five big pages together).  All in all, it was a fun Daddy-kid bonding weekend!
