What a walk

Adam came home quite happy yesterday. (I called mom and she says that she "never saw his journal"...?? I hope she looks again and is able to find it.) Adam set about working on his papers. At around 5ish we visited Grandma's house for dinner. We were a little late, so we sat at the island and watched Wallace and Gumit on the mini DVD player. after our pasta and meat sauce (one of Adam's favorites) Adam and I had a 45 minute silliness session. It was so cute. We got home a little later and I (dad) decided we were going on a long walk, in the dark, with a flashlight. Around the block is about a mile and a half. The first half mile is uphill. Adam wasn't into it at first. He kept on asking to Go home and watch TV. by the half way point, Adam had settled into the walk and we started talking about the stars. At one point, with no houses around, we smelled fresh toast - very weird. We also walked past a place that smelled stinky, like a pig farm - ugh. We picked an apple off a road side tree, which Adam ate half of. Adam was very impressed with the stars. When we got home, Adam said, "We made it!" and we raced to the front door. He snuggled with me till he fell asleep, about 30 min later. It was a great night
