Donovan's agenda for the day

Donovan is in high spirits while visiting Grandma Dawn's back here in Indiana.  Bouncing around and chattering like a monkey in a tree.

Woke me up this morning to tell me he had been outside 'to check on things' and saw three deer, two who were being chased by a third.  The third looked at him and asked him where the first two went, and he pointed to the woods and the third deer lit off after the first two.  He then went to check the fire-pit, the hot-tub (cover intact), and went up to check the telescopes before waking me up to tell me all about it.

I am thinking that perhaps this was just a vivid dream since all the doors were still locked up tight, but Donovan SWEARS it really happened.  So there you have it.

Post breakfast on the back porch, DTO states "Mommy, here is my agenda for the day...

1. Play in the hot tub.
2. Roll down the Hill.
3. Play Star Wars light sabers with Grandma Dawn.
4. Get a slip and slide.
5. Slip and slide down the hill.
6. Margaret pipes in...I want to ride horses too!

So - busy day on tap for the Otto kiddos.  Mommy may get some rest during the day, but in reality, we are...

1. Playing in the hot tub
2. Rolling down the hill.
3. Having lunch out at Brown County State Park, and will play on the playground.
4. Buying a slip and slide
5. Ice Cream Social on the lane. (Canceled - Kids too tired - napping instead)
   
6. Being lazy, or 
7. Going on a creek hike with Grandpa Gary while Grandma Dawn visits her nephew in the hospital. (Star Wars Marathon was on instead.)
8. Brown County Fireworks down at the 4H fields. (Rain Delay)

So lots on the agenda.  Beautiful Day here in So. Indiana.  I am afraid, my daughter has picked up the Appalachian accents already (just like her mother returning to her roots) and is already 'talkin' like a hick' as Grandma Dawn says.

All is right with the world.
