We kicked things off with a walk in the wood, me, Buddy the dog happily sniffing everything like he’d just discovered nature existed, and Dylan cruising beside us on his bike like a woodland speed demon. The air was crisp, fresh, and only mildly filled with Buddy’s dramatic panting soundtrack.
Then came swimming. Dylan, clearly part-merman, pulled off a full lap underwater. Nathan and I basically turned into those overexcited parents on the sidelines, if we had pom-poms, they’d have been shaking.
Back home, it was dinner prep time. Dylan took charge of the onions and decided to test out some “life hacks.”
Attempt #1: saucepan lid. Verdict = space alien. Attempt #2: bread in the mouth. Verdict = soggy toast.
Both failed, and the onions won, he ended up crying tears of laughter and onions into a pillow like they had personally betrayed him.
We finally ate (minus the soggy bread), then wrapped up the day with a solid Roblox session. Nothing like bonding over blocky chaos after a day of proud wins, onion tears, and laughter.
All in all: fresh air, proud parent moments, and proof that onions are the real villains of family life. 🧅😂
