Wheels

Aug 2-5
Uncle Duane delivered a load to CR in his semi truck and the boys had a great time checking it out! Tucker loved it, even while running and honked the horn numerous times.





































Griffin had fun pretending to drive, but was pretty freaked out by the horn!



































The boys and I built a road out of manila folders on the stairs. They had a lot of fun ramping the cars down the stairs and laughed when they crashed at the bottom.























































Color sorting with cars and they didn't even realize they were learning!!



























Griffin tried out big brother's rollerskates. He can't even stand in them by himself, but Daddy held him as he rolled around the loop in our house.

Summer Splash and Sundaes

July 30th we went to the splash pad and enjoyed the beautiful weather, then we had homemade ice cream sundaes.












































































Our sundaes with chocolate and caramel syrup, oreo and chocolate chip cookies, m&ms, and sprinkles!






























































Old MacDonalds Farm

We took the boys to Old MacDonald's Farm to see the animals. The closest zoo is 2 hours away so this is the next best thing. Griffin is learning animal noises really fast now so we thought it would be good for him to see some of the animals.

I think he was suprised at how close the ducks were!








































Griffin did a lot of pointing, he was so excited!















Checking out the cows

















































































Baby ducks

Nature Hike

On July 25th the boys and mommy went to the Indian Creek nature center. They have a trail that was created for preschoolers. They have a guide for the parents with a map and guiding questions for the 12 different activities for the kids. The boys had so much fun and it was beautiful! Something we'll definitely be doing again soon.


Picking out "special" rocks.
































Playing hopscotch












The fish pond, we didn't see any fish today!














Suspension bridge




















































Building and stacking















Climbing the rocks



















NOT HAPPY about stopping to pose for a picture!



















Looking at shells














Tee pee




















Playing music































Throwing rocks into the river















The train tracks went right by the trail. Tucker thought it was great, but Griffin (who really loves trains) decided it was too loud!













Tucker took these next 2 photos. They're pretty artistic!































After our nature hike we went downtown to check out the river and have lunch with Daddy. It was a great day!
