Rover!

You know how when you have a friend or family visit you for a weekend you plan so much more than normal because you want them to see everything and have a good time? Well, that was our weekend with Rover. Except without the added bonus of a visitor bringing you treats you crave from the US, like hearts of palm and good wrapping paper.

Rover is a dog puppet that Adam’s preschool sends home with a different child every weekend. Then you print photos of your activities together and add it to Rover’s book and tell the class about the weekend on Monday. A couple of weekends ago it was finally our turn. Adam had been waiting for months for his turn and was so excited.

The pressure was on. I needed some fun activities for Rover and of course my children. With Randy traveling for the weekend I decided to pull out all the stops. We ate dinner and even shared some water with Rover.

Then we built Rover a house, which he was forced to share with Uh-Uh, Malcolm’s doggy.

The next morning we decided to treat Rover to our favorite day. First stop was Wildflour of course.

We got out usual. Cucumber mint drinks and french toast for the boys. Granola and an Iced Cubano for me. I shared with Rover.

Then we went to the Mind Museum and showed Rover all our favorite spots.

Thankfully Malcolm wanted to hold Rover the entire time.

We even took Rover for a haircut!

Sunday we took Rover to the pool, but I forgot my phone so no pics of him tanning with his sunglasses. Then poor Rover was lost for 30 minutes while Adam tried to remember if he dropped him on the way up from the pool, while I frantically searched for him. I finally found him here…..
