Quick nap

A quick snap in lieu of a full nap today while we go with Grandma Irene to visit some friends for dinner.  

Happy Birthday H

One might say that I'm an amazing husband, skilled and creative. Another might say that as a birthday present, it was pretty cheap and came days late. 

And you'd both be right

Sunflowers

Went to a friends farm yesterday morning and, amongst other things, took some pics by one of their sunflower fields. 

Thursday

The corn seems to be doing best of our garden this year. We had a handful of beans.  Our squash plants have yet to produce a female flower and so we have yet to see any squash or pumpkins. Not sure why that is. 

The carrots are looking good as well. Haven't had any yet. 

We spent some time launching the water rocket today and making nose cone modifications. And then discussing orbiting, fuel requirements, and interplanetary travel. Of course. 

To the depot

Aaron and I took a trip to Home Depot today. He enjoyed having little to no chance of quick egress during the ride back. 

Hammock

Wheeeeee!

Campfire

Children's museum

Forgot to take any other pics, but here's one of Elijah. Hannah says he stood alone for a few seconds today.

Vacation day 3

Morning shows.

Ice Cream

The first visit with ice cream this vacation was a messy one.

Farmers Market

Went to a small market this afternoon, more like a country store than a "farmers market" and Elijah posed for me.

Vacation day 2

Good Morning!

Rowboat

Vacation day 1

At a cottage with the Broges. Middle of nowhere. Inland lakefront. Large pile of sand. Firepit. DVD player and wifi. Sounds good to me.

Bananas

After a brief hiatus, Elijah has decided to like bananas again.

Turtle

Sunscreen

Aaron decided to put his own sunscreen on. Note the feet.

Balance beam

Playing at the park this evening.

New pool

No pool lasts more than a season at this house. This years installment incorporates a slide. Elijah was not interested in cold water and preferred to swing.

Hammock

It was a good weekend to get the hammock out.

Swinging

Nice day.

Ted drewes

As good as I remember.

Chicago McDonald's

Over the highway. They boys were excited.

Random again

Tummy time

Tummy time is hard.

Post dinner

And so tired.

4th day

Starting to stay awake for (slightly) longer periods.

The Boys
