Logan's Surprise Day

The school district had a teacher in service day on Friday so  Logan was out. I knew this ahead of time and asked for the day off work without telling Logan. As the week progressed I let him know that Friday would be a surprise day. I planned on getting up like we were going to school and taking Clark to the sitter. Once Clark was dropped off the plan was to pick up Mimi ( Logan's great grandmother) and head to Dinosaur World for the day. He kept trying to guess where we were going while I kept talking to Mimi and checking the weather forecast. Logan's expectations were low and his guesses included McDonald's, Chick-Fil-A, and Rosa's Cafe. On the morning of the surprise he guessed a hotel.

The morning arrived to semi-nice weather. It was a little cool and would have been a lot nicer but the wind was blowing. The other snafu was Logan's eye was swollen and we needed to put some medicine in it and apply warm compresses. It looked like he had a sty and was really upset thinking it would keep us from our surprise. The swelling went down mostly by the time we were up and going. I called Mimi on the way and she was up and ready so we picked her up and headed to Dinosaur World although I still had not told Logan where we were going. Mimi kept him guessing the whole way there and he was really surprised when we pulled up. It was perfect that the first dinosaur inside the park was Logan's favorite the stegosaurus.

If the weather had been a little warmer it would have been the perfect place to spend all day. We had packed our lunch and they made it convenient by having picnic tables all through the park.

We finished up at the park by noon and so Mimi suggested we go to Fossil Rim so we could extend the day. She really loves spending time with the boys and I want them to have as much time with her as possible so on to Fossil Rim we went.

After leaving Fossil Rim we headed by NeNe's ( Logan's grandmother) work so they could visit. After a lot of playing with the shop dog we headed to McDonald's to eat. Logan was hungry but Mimi and I just had an ice cream. After all this fun it was time to take Mimi home and us head back toward our house. Phillip had picked up Clark from the sitter so Logan and I went to Winco to take advantage of some sales and use coupons (receipt is noted on last post). Once we were done there we headed home so Logan could recount the whole day for dada.
