Today we made the trip to Niceville to visit Gigi (his Godmother Janet), and this time Dennis and I rode with Allison. David is at home, enjoying some man time (and enjoying some work time perhaps a little less). Dennis didn't nap for the entire 4 hour trip here, and he actually never did nap today and was one tired little guy after his supper tonight (Gigi made some red beans and rice and sausage especially for him).
We started the morning at Whataburger (or 'Hamburger House' as Dennis calls it), and after we ordered our breakfast and sat down, Dennis got back up and walked over to the counter. He stood there just as seriously as he could said "I want a hamburger and french fries". The girl at the counter gave him a big smile. From there, we headed south with one stop at a cute little gift shop in Evergreen, Alabama. I thought it'd be a good time for a diaper change, and it certainly was. He'd dumped Cocoa Puffs all in his carseat and then spilled water, so his pants looked like several rabbits had pooped on them. He kept telling us "I want to go to Gigi's house" and when we assured him that's where we were headed, he would say "okay" and smile.
Gigi fixed us a fabulous burger lunch and then we went to Children's Park and watched an elated Dennis dance through the giant sprinklers and slide down the slides and drive the trucks and climb the climbing wall for over an hour. Then we hit the beach for just a little while where he calmly sat in the sand and played with his dump trucks, bulldozer, buckets, and shovels. He finally agreed to go and put his toes in the ocean after a half hour of sand play, and then he told us "I want to go build a sand castle". It was a big day for him and he went right to sleep after supper!
