Saturday
Saturday started with Dylan double fisting bacon into his mouth. The toast and eggs were just my wishful thinking.
My mom and I both needed things from the grocery store so we went shopping after breakfast with a quick detour to a park to give Dylan a chance to play. The great thing about going to a park with another adult is that they can push Dylan…
…while I take the opportunity to swing.
Dylan and I went to a local children’s museum in the afternoon.
He had a great time making music by touching a wall and loved watching the waveforms he created displayed on a big screen. (Wonder who he gets that from…Jay?)
Another point of interest included a giant cardboard paper box. (Why do kids like boxes so much? I had to pry him away from this one!)
The last time we were here I got these exact same pictures:
Dylan liked this dog wall-mural so much, he gave it kisses.
The rest of Saturday was low-key because we had a big day planned for Sunday.
Sunday
Sunday my parents took Dylan and me on a road trip up North. We ate breakfast at a cute restaurant that had a train circling overhead.
And then we went to STORY LAND! Story Land is a low-key but really nice and well-maintained theme park celebrating famous fairy tales and nursery rhymes. I love it there because its very whimsical. There are talking trees, tilted houses and giant Humpty Dumptys sitting on walls.
My dad went to Story Land when he was a kid, he took me when I was a kid, and now its Dylan’s turn.
Here’s Dylan making his very first wish in a wishing well. I think its cool we have that on camera! I hope all his wishes come true.
At one point Dylan entered a giant ball pit and wouldn’t come out. Eventually, I was allowed to break Story Land protocol to go in and get him.
We bopped all around and went on a bunch of rides. The faster a ride went, the more Dylan enjoyed it. This pirate ship was a bit slow for him:
For the most part I would go on the rides with Dylan and my parents would wave and take our pictures, but this Ferris Wheel-type ride was fun because they went on with us. Sadly, I didn’t get their picture. 
We left the park around lunchtime, grabbed a quick bite at a nearby restaurant, popped into L.L. Bean and then headed on home. Dylan slept like a rock in the car.
Back home Dylan took a loooooooong bath. He absolutely loves playing with cups in the tub. He just pours water from one cup to the another but the repetition really soothes him.
And here’s a fresh and clean Dylan in his new L.L. Bean jammies.
The night wound down with Play-doh and dinner. Dylan was unusually calm and mellow tonight and I totally credit that to a fun-filled day!
Meanwhile…
While Dylan and I have been busy going to museums and theme-parks, my love, Jason, has been moving us into our new house in Georgia in 100+ degree weather.
I am aware that this sounds extremely unfair (and really, it is) but we couldn’t figure out a way to do a major move with Dylan in tow so we planned it so that I would get Dylan out of town during the transition. It was the right move for us but its definitely weird not being with Jay during this experience.
He sent me these few pictures of the new house right after he unloaded the boxes but he won’t let me see it again until Dylan and I arrive in person (he’s big on surprises!).
I’m excited to see the house all put together but even more excited to see my Jason!

That’s a wrap!
