This week has turned out to be a true vacation for Vaughn. As you can see by the picture Vaughn found his cowboy necklace, cowboy hat, and cowboy shirt for a little work at the farm. Nana rode with Mommy & Vaughn up to ND on Sunday. Of course, we stopped at McDonalds on the way (I wonder how long it has been for Nana to eat a McDonalds) On Monday, Nana had to go to work and so did mommy - so Vaughn and II went to the farm. Apparently, Vaughn makes quite the farmer. He ate beans fresh from the field (organic as my II reminds me:) and played on a giant dirt pile in front of the new morton building. I am happy I wasn't the one to give him a shower later. Then, Vaughn had a chance to celebrate Avery's birthday and played on the neighbors trampoline. He tried to jump and everytime he said "mommy - watch me watch me I am doing a monkey jump" then the next time it was "mommy-watch me do a camel jump" I couldn't tell them apart. When we finally, got back from the neighbors and I told Vaughn it was time for bed he declared "I didn't get to do anything today - I didn't watch TV" Tuesday, mommy went to Bismarck and when I came back I was informed the tent was up in the backyard and that Vaughn was going camping with II. II is smart - he is camping with an airmattress. Vaughn wanted to have hot chocolate with marshmellows - it was in the 60s so kind of cold, but not hot chocolate weather. After a while, I went in to sleep and the boys told stories. Wednesday was another trip to the farm to check on the cement pouring for the floor. Highlight of the trip was Vaughn making roads in II's garden with his giant yellow truck. Vaughn also got a ride on the tailgate of the pickup and drove the tractor. I left to go back home on Wednesday, but continued to call for updates. Will report more later.

You've probably been hearing a lot of stories from Vaughn's adventures with I-I at the farm. He's going to be quite a hand to
I-I. He got some straight from the garden nutrition as he ate green beans, carrots and raspberries. Of course, he got some extra chocolate in the "oreo" cookie snacks, hot chocolate, ice cream cone with chocolate sprinkles and a few M&M's - he got the green ones plus a few other colors.
He didn't have time or access to television - he was too busy building structures with tinker toys and legos - oh, I guess he did watch Sesame Street a couple of times. He also helped Nanna make pancakes, rice krispy bars and washed a bucket of toys in soapy water (Nanna's secret to getting the dirt out from under his gardening fingernails.)
I'm sure he will tell you more stories from his perspective - he enjoyed reading several books - his new favorite is "The One-Dog Canoe."
