An Early Father's Day Weekend

The Purcell boys took their annual trip this weekend, and this year they traveled to Shawnee National Park in Illinois.  Nolan tagged along this year as well.  Nolan had a blast taking in all of the surroundings and spending quality alone time with his daddy.  Bill sent me pictures throughout the weekend to assure me that Nolan was still being fed and kept safe! :)  A huge shout out to Bill for taking lots of good pictures.  I was very impressed when Bill came home and showed me all of the pictures he took.  Bill knew I would want some to post on the blog! What a great hubby.

Shortly after arriving at their cabin, Bill wanted to take Nolan to the Garden of the Gods.

 Needless to say, I did not see this picture until both boys had returned home!  Bill knew I would have freaked out if he would of text this picture to me!

The boys ended their Friday evening playing Leggos and eating dinner.  Nolan and I were able to FaceTime and he was so excited to tell me about his day!!  Around 9:30pm I received a FaceTime call with Nolan crying, he was home sick and scared of the dark.  I read a few Thomas and Friends books to him and he calmed down.  Bill turned on a few lights and Nolan slept great!

On Saturday, the adventure continued to Pounds Hollow Lake.  Bill said the lake was nice and not too chilly.  Nolan said, "A huge fish swam by him, but the fish had little teeth so it didn't bite him!"  I loved receiving FaceTime calls from Bill and Nolan.  Nolan was so excited to tell me about his adventures!!

To finish up Saturday's travels, the guys went to Rim Rock, the Bat Cave in Nolan's imagination.  Bill said Nolan had a lot of fun climbing the different rocks and running along the different trails.

Carter and I sure are glad to have Daddy and Poot back home with us, but I know Nolan and Bill had a lot of fun hanging out together.
