Animals

Visited an animal park outside of Mt Rushmore this morning.

Hike

The result of the hike today. Samuel was not having any posing.

Storytime Island

Spent some of the morning at this place in Rapid City. A fun time had
by all.

Shopping for lunch

Ahh, the novelty of foreign grocery stores.

Driving

We have begun our trip to South Dakota. Here is Aaron enjoying a book.

Where's Aaron?

There he is!

Ready

Samuel is ready for his upcoming trip.

Happy Birthday Aaron!

A year ago, slightly bruised.

Present day, still slightly bruised.

A little dancing for you.

Cake

First cake went well tonight.

Bike

Samuel figured out how to petal forward and use the joystick on his
bike this week, enabling him to play some of the games. Which
occasionally engages him for some time. Which is bad I suppose from a
video game perspective, but is cool from a he understands how to use a
joystick to select letters perspective. And a peace and quiet for 15
minutes every once in a while perspective.

Pooltime

Enjoying the mostly warm weather.

Samuel sings Wall-E 2

Continued from last night.

Samuel sings Wall-E 1

...well its Hello Dolly, but Samuel knows it only from Wall-E. Part 2 tomorrow night.

Aaron walking 2

Another of Aaron walking. Better, but this was still 2 almost 3 weeks ago and he is doing longer stretches with greater ease. And we try to make sure his pants aren't around his ankles like they are here.

Samuelisms

I don't usually post Samuelisms as I am of the opinion that what he
says is much funnier when told in person than when read, but I'm
breaking my rule this morning.

A commercial came in this morning for 'Bliss' - hershey's version of
dove chocolates- and at the end of the commercial, after the ending
tagline "it's bliss", Samuel responded "It's not bliss, it's just
chocolate."

Take that Hersheys.

Aaron walking 1

Heres a little of Aaron walking. 2 weeks ago - doing much better now. With interruption by Samuel.
