Weekends

Our last few weekends have been really fun. We have been enjoying the summer and love getting out of the house! Most nights when Marc gets home from work we go on a little walk around the block. This is how Luke rolls.

And this is how Griffin rolls. He loves to push his tractor and dump truck!

It takes quite a while to get all the way around the block with Griffin. He likes to stop and pick up every rock and throw it. He also has a fascination with ants... so anytime we see one... like I said, it takes a while.

Since Griffin LOVES firetrucks we thought that it would be fun to take him to the Steel Days Parade so he could experience them in real life, not just on YouTube. So glad I have this video!

It's a love/hate relationship.
Here he is still recovering from the HONK!

And little Lukie just chills through it all.

Our next outing was the Zoo. We thought that Griffin would LOVE this. However, he was more interested in the water, than the animals. He pointed out the water in all the animals cages. It was so stinking hot that day, so a lot of the animals were sleeping, so that was kind of a bummer. I had not been to the zoo for probably 7 years. HOLY HILLS! That place is crazy with hills and (and I'm really out of shape) and it was so hot that we only lasted a couple hours.

We couldn't get him to stand where he was supposed to for the photo op, but you get the idea.

And once we were in the nice, air conditioned car he crashed. That means he had fun, right? Or he had heat stroke? Not sure.

Our most recent outing was to the duck pond at Highland Glen Park. Is anyone else bothered that it's not called Adventure and Learning Park anymore? I remember coming here with my preschool and many times since then. It will always be Adventure and Learning Park to me!
Griffin loved throwing bread to/at the ducks! Anytime he gets to throw something he's happy!

Luke in his little cocoon! He is a little angel who sleeps through most everything when we are out and about. Sleeping at night, now that's another story.

And on to the playground

It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt!

Now seriously. Where are your sweats? Those are normal shorts too. I echo my comment of the last post. How is it done? And those boys belong in a Gap ad. No really, you need to get them an agent and make them start earning their keep.
