Lucas got to spend last weekend at Amy's house. It was just him and Eli--no Josh or Henry or me!It's the first time he has gotten to stay away from home by himself.
I really think that he would have been happy to just hang out while he was up there--it's a treat just getting to be solo for awhile--but she kept him really busy throughout his whole weekend.

He got to go to a Royals game, and he went the Moon Marble Company. That was apparently really neat! They show you how they make marbles and have all sorts of old toys for sell. He also got to go to Uncle Dave's company picnic, and made the rounds at Dave's parents, grandparents and brothers house. Each house was fabulous--he got to see cows, calves, a baby puppy, ride super fast on a golf cart and even play some old school Mario Brothers. That is just some of the big activities--there was also lots of "events" at her house as well. I can't believe how much stuff she packed into 4 days.
Every time I would talk to him on the phone he would sound like he was just having the very best time. I missed him so, so much, but I was glad he was having an amazing time.
Before he left I was really worried about Lucas getting really homesick--he reminds me a lot of myself in a lot of ways--but he didn't at all. In fact Amy said that the first night he slept in their bed, but the other nights he sleep in another bedroom all by himself and watched T.V. until he fell asleep. Before he went up there, that is what he said he wanted to do, but I thought there was no way! Good for him for being so independent!
He had a ton of fun at Amy's. There was a time or two when he said that he wished Henry could have come up there too, which I think is so nice of him, but I think he liked getting to do so many things on his own. He did bring his brothers back lots of presents that he had picked out. They were excited about that!
The day after he got home he slept in until almost 2:00 in the afternoon--a sixteen hour night which is absolutely unheard of around here. Amy obviously wore him out completely. Now we'll just have to see if she can do the same next month when Henry comes up for a weekend!.JPG)
