My parents<br \/>\n    came up to babysit so Alan and I could go to a friends wedding.<br \/>\n    The wedding was an hour away and Alan and I got a hotel room<br \/>\n    and turned it into a mini-vacation. It was a lot of fun! The<br \/>\n    wedding was held at a B&#038;B.; They had the ceremony in a<br \/>\n    field at the top of a hill and the dinner reception in a<br \/>\n    restored barn. The whole thing was beautiful. I have lots of<br \/>\n    pictures that I&#8217;ll post soon.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5749-767466.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5749-767014.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">Here we are before the reception.

After trying for awhile I gave up<br \/>\n    and took them to the science museum instead. They have a great<br \/>\n    outdoor water park that is always a hit. This is the first time<br \/>\n    we&#8217;ve been there since the weather has been nice. They LOVED<br \/>\n    it! It&#8217;s fun to see Lex year after year playing with the same<br \/>\n    exhibits. I was thinking about finding a few old pics of him in<br \/>\n    past years, wearing the same hat and playing with the same<br \/>\n    exhibits. They had fun, came home and ate a huge dinner of<br \/>\n    yogurt, zone bars, bagels, etc., had a quick bath, then went to<br \/>\n    bed in tears of exhaustion. Asleep by 6:30pm :) Then I went out<br \/>\n    to meet some friends for drinks! Whewh! We are all looking<br \/>\n    forward to a recovery Monday!<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e)\n    {}\" href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5786-737356.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5786-736866.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e)\n    {}\" href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5811-738082.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5811-737564.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>I also have a ton<br \/>\n    of photos from the museum.

We also saw the train go by, twice, and they were<br \/>\n    pretty excited.

I sometimes forget that<br \/>\n    this is unusual for a 4yr old, but am often reminded in public.<br \/>\n    Today a man held the door for us a the museum and Lex stopped<br \/>\n    to read a sign. I was trying to hurry Lex along since this guy<br \/>\n    was holding the door, but the man was just fascinated watching<br \/>\n    him read. He finished the sign and came right over to me, and<br \/>\n    the man just was amazed and asked me about his reading skills<br \/>\n    and pointed Lex out to his wife (Lex had already run over to<br \/>\n    another exhibit by this point). Here he is reading about the<br \/>\n    stone xylephone exhibit. He is such an impressive<br \/>\n    boy!<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a busy, busy weekend.
