Last weekend I took Jentry to Sutton for a night. When we arrived on Friday evening, Jentry thought it was great fun to run in circles through Nathan's very large, old house. She loved to hear the pounding of her feet on the hardwood floor echoing throughout the house. I showed Jentry the room were she would be sleeping and set up her fan, radio, nightlight, books, blanket, snugglie, practically anything that would help her sleep well. I was really worried that she would not sleep in a room by herself in a strange place.
Next we stopped by the Fox Hollow Golf Course (AKA Nathan's second home) to say hello to the McKenzies who had just finished a round of golf. Jan took Jentry for a walk to see the beautiful fountain.
We then headed to the Smith's house for supper. Nathan's classmates, Blake and Monica Smith, have three children; Avery (3), Julie (2) and AJ (5 months). Monica and I have been trying to arrange a time for the kids to get together for awhile and finally we made it happen. We, actually Nathan and Monica, grilled wonderful food and the kids had a great time playing. Jentry loved their "bouncy thing" which to everyone else is simply a trampoline. By the time we made it back to Nathan's, Jentry was exhausted and went to bed better than she ever has at home. She even slept in until 8:00 the next morning! I guess her crazy mother didn't really need to pack her entire room in a suitcase. Oh well!
Saturday morning we went to John and Jan's house. Jan was canning pickles when we arrived, so Jentry got in on the fun and the secret to the best pickles in Clay County! John let Jentry drive the forklift again while Jan prepared us a yummy lunch.
After lunch Jentry and I headed to the pool. Sutton has an amazing, fairly new, aquatic center.
After swimming we all enjoyed a dish of ice cream from the Sweet Treat which was conveniently located across the street from the pool. After an afternoon of swimming and a belly full of ice cream, Jentry was asleep in her car seat before I was finished pumping gas into the car on our way out of town. We had a wonderful day in Sutton and look forward to spending more time there in the future.
