Griffin and I tagged along with Daddy to the Crew Game this night and amongst other items like a hot dog and popcorn, Finn had his first taste of cotton candy.  I wish we could have captured his cute little face when he took his first bite. He lit up like a flashlight and was pretty excited. He said it was so “yummy”.  I used to love cotton candy when I was little. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree – isn’t that how it goes?

Other adventures this week were a couple of hours on Sunday at the Memorial Golf Tournament at Muirfield. It was a really warm afternoon and Finn went with us. We spent most of our time near the green on 14. We had a nice little spot and watched several golfers come through. Finn is so observant and really loves to clap. Even without prompting after the golfer would make his shot and others would begin clapping, he just perked right up and started clapping too. So cute.  After the tournament we headed to Mansfield to celebrate dad’s birthday with a cookout with the rest of the family. We tooled around the yard a bit and across the bridge to check out grandpa’s plants. And of course, we had an ice cream cake from DQ – it’s almost a yearly tradition on dad’s birthday! Finn, Graham, and Rowan enjoyed “helping” open gifts and sampling the frosting.  Kevin and I used to spend a lot of time downtown when he lived there and we were dating. I took Finn down to meet Kevin one night for dinner on the patio at the Elevator. We got super lucky and made it to our car just prior to a ginormous rain storm.  I mean there was flooding on 315 on our way home! We all had fun though, and Finn wanted to get down and smell the flowers near our table for a short bit. And here are a couple of highlights of Finn playing with Lily. He talks her into coming everywhere we go in the house, or in the yard.  Though she doesn’t always listen without adult coercion 🙂 This night I snapped a few phone pics of him laying down in the hallway talking to her. Before long he wanted to get his blankie and cover her up for her nap. He’s a really good caretaker!
