Standing in line to check out. He bought ice cream, apples, fish, donuts and a few other things.
My friend Dawnette and her 2 little boys invited us along and we ran into another friend from church. Here are some of the kids playing together in the Tot Spot.
Plenty of cars to drive for hours of fun.
Gassing up the car. I think Jace spent 75% of his time doing this. He would run and play with other stuff then I would find him getting gas again.
They have an outdoor splash section that he loved. They can assemble all these tubes together to make the water go in different directions. Jace made a "shower" and sat under it for a while. Silly man!

Then Saturday morning we left to Dallas to spend Memorial Day Weekend with J's Family that lives there. We stayed with his Uncle Ron and Cousin Tyler. They were so fun to spend time with and get to know better. Right when we got there Saturday we went boating with his Uncle Ron, Uncle Randy and Aunt Sharon. It was a little bit choppy all day and then when the rain started we headed home. We still had a great time. It was Jace's first time on a boat and he loved it.

I could sit on a boat for hours, it is so relaxing to me.
This pictures makes it look like Jace loved his life jacket. Nope! Every time he made him wear it, he cried. This was the first time and he didn't know what to expect.
I'm telling you, it got really windy and wet.
Finally Jace had enough of the rain and wind in his face so he grabbed the towel and covered his face for the rest of the ride back.
This was the first day in his entire life that he didn't get a nap. He didn't sleep a wink the drive up and stayed awake the entire boat ride and car ride back to the house. He was so wired and showed no signs of crashing. I put him to bed early anyway.
Sunday we went over to J's Uncle Don's house and spent the afternoon with him and his daughter Kari's Family. Jace showed no fear when jumping off the diving board a few times. I was shocked. He realized he wasn't doing it again after J let him go under water a few times and water got up his nose. This was the best picture I could get.
After the BBQ and swimming we all played a fun new game while Jace sat on the couch watching a show. Uncle Don gave him a treat and he was set!
Went boating again Monday with all the same people and also including J's cousin Jaime and her family.
J jumping in the cold water to wake board.
He hasn't done this in years and got up on the first try. He's a natural.
The highlight of the day for Jace was driving the boat. He loved turning it in circles and honking the horn.
Just sitting and enjoying the ride. We loved it.
While Jace was sitting with J he told him, "I want a boat". J said, "does daddy need to get a boat?" and Jace said, "yah, a red one."
Getting off the boat with Uncle Ron. Jace loved him and every time he couldn't see him he's day, "Where's Ron?"
On the ride home, we got a flat tire. It took us hours to find a place that was open on holidays that had the tire we needed. Luckily we had our DVD to keep Jace occupied.
Cute Story: While we were waiting for our car to get fixed, I had taken Jace in a bathroom with me. I told him to just stand there and not touch anything. After a minute, he turned around and started knocking on the door. He said, "Knock, knock, knock......Like Jesus does!" I have a book I made that we look at during Sacrament that has the picture of Jesus knocking on the door. I always say Knock Knock when we see that picture and talk about it. That is was he was talking about.
Here is proof he was exhausted for the weekend. This is how he fell asleep in his bed the next day for his nap.
