Weekend 6/22 - 6/23 - King's Island

I’m sorry, children of the future for my lack of keeping the yearbook up to date. We have been *busy* but I want remember our summer of 2012, so here we go, a series of catch-ups.

We were rewarded with a trip to my boss Joyce’s house to swim after a 5 hour long van ride. The kids were great watching DVDs, Nana & I listened to a book on CD, the time went quickly.
Both kids had a ball playing pool basketball with Noah, who despite being 10 was incredibly sweet and patient with littles. He helped them swim, eat and taught us all how to play cornhole.
The next day we went to King’s Island for Mommy’s company picnic. Daddy had just started his new job that week and couldn’t go, Nana was kind enough to accompany us even though it was close to 100 degrees.
We visited Planet Snoopy, the kids area.
Nate was shy of the characters at first, Annabelle of course couldn’t wait to give them a hug.
The only reason Nate went up to Snoopy was to ask him where Linus was.
We rode some rides, had a late lunch and got ready to wrap it up for the day.
Then Annabelle spotted Lucy, they danced.
Then the moment I want to always remember. The characters were being led away by their handlers when Nate spotted Linus. He ran up to him and started babbling. Instead of walking away or ignoring him Linus bent down, listened as Nate told him all about his pillow. I didn’t think Linus could hear or understand him.
Then Linus held his blanket up right to the side of Nate’s face, the same way Nate holds his pillow. Then they embraced. Two boys that share the same affection for their lovies. It brought more than one tear to my eye.
