2 return and 1 takes off again :)
flat L. stanley just can't stay home: "I'm a travelin' man!" The fagerlind family asked me to tag along for a weekend with family in Storm Lake iowa. I couldn't pass that up now could I? We got there kinda late on friday and the sun was setting on the lake so they let me out to check it out. when we returned to our room we could not get the door key to work. we tried and tried and tried! we called down dena from her room and she too, tried and tried. we called the front desk and she made a new key that lacey and maddie went to get. they tried and tried-still no luck :( the front desk lady came up to offer assistance and guess what? yep-still stuck in the hallway. she called maintance and he arrived about 10 minutes later.....he tried his key, he tried the master key, he tried our key AND STILL we sat in the hallway! they called the head guy at his house-no answer. they called him on his cell-no answer! finally i was ready to try anything so i tried the key then i tried sliding under the door but without anyone to lift me up..i could not open it. i did however notice that the outside door to the patio was still open and the front desk clerk walked around and got inside and then opened the door. 1 hour wait in the hallway and we are ready for bed; we have yet to wait for the guy who can really fix the door though so we watched sponge bob. at 10pm he arrived reprogrammed the door locks,everything worked s0000 off to sleep we went! The next morning, while they were taking turns getting their swim wear on, bailey kept me entertained with the full length mirror-we played peek-a-boo and where is stanley :) karlee helped make sure I ate a well balanced breakfast. Then, it was off to the hotel's water park for some fun! bailey and lisa took me down the yellow slide! i got to hang out at the tables with aunt dena and uncle bill and cousins wendy and tony....they made sure i didnt wander off! i did sneak off to get some ice-boy does it come out fast!!! had to sit out from swimming the rest of the morning for that stunt :( it was such a warm day that they all decided we needed some fresh air and we took a walk down the beach to new innovated park! i went down this roller slide with karlee, maddie and abbey(tony helped too). i got dizzy on the tire swing with nick and lilliana. AND, i played with bailey in the infant crawl tubes. when we got back to the hotel we got to swim a bit more before getting dressed and heading off to supper. Pizza! boy do they know me or what?! maddie shared her bread sticks with me and abbey shared her pop-ummm i like pop! then it was back to the hotel for more swimming and then a bedtime snack. i was kinda restless so tyler took me down to the weight room to work off some of it off. the fagerlind's were very thankful. I went right to sleep like a good boy after that :) the next morning we set to task loading everything back up into the van to head home. on the way lisa let me stop and check out the light house that sits on the edge of town. it was an hour ride home so i napped a bit. at home, we found the eighmy family ( rod, cheryl, john and jessica) waiting on the porch with girl scout cookies. cheryl asked who I am and then asked if i could go along with them to deliver the rest of the boxes, and if i could ride with them to des moines. i've never been to des moines! lisa said sure but that i had to take a few minutes and update the blog 1st. well, off i go again. see ya soon!
