I wish I were sick or something...

You know you've had a long, fun-filled, busy summer when your almost 10 year son says, "I wish I were sick or something. I am tired of moving around and doing things. I just want to lay down on the couch and do nothing." My husband and I just looked at him and laughed! I gave him permission to lay in front of the T.V. until bedtime (it was already 6:30pm)!!! But nope, he couldn't just lay there. He threw off his shorts and grabbed a comfy blanket but lay down and relax he did not. I don't know if he's got it in him to just do nothing. Maybe that's why he wanted to get sick...then he'd be forced to stop his body!!! LOL!

One great thing we did this summer was join a local boy Scout troop and stay the night on this real ship used in WWII. It was a bit icky with all the spiders but it was really neat to learn about the history of the LST 393. We arrived around 6pm, ate dinner, played all over the ship, watched a movie and was up and out of there by 8am. This is still an active museum and so we needed to head out so busy as usual could go on!
