Before we headed to the Kaos today, we stopped by Kaiser to pick up Logan’s new glasses.  Logan was excited to get the new glasses, and they both waited patiently for the next technician to adjust the glasses to fit him.  Afterward, we also went to an appt for me and the boys did some nice drawings the entire time that I was away.

    By noon, we arrived at the Kaos; Robyn and Peyton had already arrived.  We were all hungry and so we were excited that Ted was cooking bbq lunch for us.  Once Michelle and Mckayla returned home, we all sat down in their newly remodeled backyard patio to enjoy the yummy lunch.  Logan actually asked to go into the pool, but we had to rest a little before we got ready for swimming.  Mckayla, Marcus and Peyton got in the pool quickly while Logan and Connor were happy to shoot water canons at the poolside.  Not long later, Connor wanted to go into the water.  Later I tried to drag Logan in the water too but he was so nervous and hesitant with water just like the old days.  Stuart and I were joking about how we had wasted the past 8 months at swim school.  Logan however did enjoy his time shooting water while standing on the shallow end of the pool while the rest of us playing and swimming.  After Logan was finally in the pool for awhile, Michelle talked him into using the floating noodle and taught him to be quite comfortable on it all by himself.  After that, Logan became more relaxed and was floating all over the pool on his own.  He was having lots of fun shooting water at everyone.  What a breakthrough that was.  Robyn also helped to train Connor to float on his back, and Connor did try his best and relax only briefly to float.  He also received a quick guidance from Michelle and later was floating with the noodle on his own too.  Everyone, including our two boys, had so much fun in the water that it took some convincing to get them out of the water. 

     After we all cleaned up, it was time for desserts.  Michelle made a new version of the S’more that most kids were excited about, but Connor was looking forward to the pie that i made and Logan wanted the ice cream that we bought.  Everyone ended up enjoying all the desserts we had there.  The kids returned to play while we sat and chatted in the yard.  One of the main topics we talked a lot about today was the new screen doors the Kaos had installed.  Then, out of the blue, we saw Connor who was inside the house run straight into the screen door.  His impact took the door off the railing while Connor appeared fine without being hurt.  I immediately picked Connor up while Stuart and Ted checked on the door.  From the reactions we had, Connor felt guilty and started crying.   He calmed down after a few minutes and apologized to Uncle Ted eventually as we suggested.  Later Connor explained that he was being chased by Logan and Marcus, but we still could not believe he ran into the door.   We also found that he had a small cut on his heel from the fall.  We hope the door will recover.

     By five o clock, as Robyn and Peyton also had to leave, we all packed up to end this fun outing.  The boys fell asleep quickly during our drive home.  Connor ended up sleeping more than an hour and Stuart finally had to wake him up as the end of the day was approaching.
