We managed to visit with only one near miss with the little darlin!
He managed to pop the screen out of the front door, but apparently it was one of those that is supposed to be loose at the bottom, so the heart attack that I had thinking about the forty shades of hell my father was going to unleash on me was for not..
At least we got a really nice sunset out of the whir-wind visit... they live right on the island in Belleville, so after the little darlin had gone to bed, we were able to sit out and watch the sun set over Belleville, which was totally beautiful.. and you could actually enjoy it without getting eaten, since the wind off the lake seems to keep most of the mosquitoes at bay.
We also got to find out that the little darlin' *loves* waves. We took him in swimming with us and had him sitting in one of those.. umm, round hoops with leg holes that allows them to kick and splash with their hands but by far and large keeps them out of the water and sun (it has a shade cover). Anyway, every boat came by caused some waves (and let me tell you there seem to be a ton of boats there), making him bob up and down and squeal with delight. The only problem is how do you explain to a 14 month old that its not possible for you to "do again" without doing something so outrageous as to cause the boats to come over to see what was going on? :)
