Change in Plans

So, the hospital called yesterday to confirm our appointments and said that Mason's xray and echo were on Tuesday not Monday. LET THE CRAZY BEGIN! This actually ended up being a blessing in disguise. It will allow us to stay an extra day in Grand Haven for vacation. We had also planned to spend the day with our dear friends, the Lentines',on Tuesday so that was not going to happen. After a few texts and a brief phone call, our friends have invited us to spend the night at their new house (they move this coming Sunday!). We are so blessed to have such great friends and I can't wait to see Mason's little girlfriend, Jillian, who is about 7 weeks past her Fontan surgery.

Back to vacation! First we went Holland to see the Windmill and buy some wooden shoes (will add pictures later - they are on the other camera). Mia and Mason (and Randy) got to ride on a Carousel. I think everyone had a good time but it was nap time. While Mason took a nap, Randy took Mia to the beach! And from the animated stories she told when she returned, I think she loved it. Randy also took plenty of pics and video for Mason and I to see. I would have loved to been there but Mason needs his rest before his big day. We plan to take him up there later tonight when it is not as hot. Wonder what he will think of the sand?

As many of you know, we have been really selective as to where we have taken Mason especially public places. And I think we have created a monster. He has no idea how to act in a resturant! All he wants to do is run around and find the exit signs. I don't know why but this kid loves Exit signs! Anyway, I feel so bad for the customers around us because he is so excited to walk around and be a wild man. He is very social when he does it and says hi to everyone but that is only cute the first few times. Randy and I have tried to tame the wild beast but we normally just throw in the white towel and give up. We basically just take turns walking round with him. It is that or hold him in my lap while he screams - I tried that and it wasn't pretty and the rest of the customers would not have been happy if I had continued.

Here is my little beast running around the resturant. I have briefly lured him over with a piece of bread - one of his favorites!
