4th of July parade

Annual tradition.... We missed my brother and his family this year. We were are bit late and almost didn't find a spot! Next year I think Bonnie and I will go ahead of the rest of the crowd and stake our claim. It was fun to see Logan get the idea of catching candy towards the end of the parade. I kept throwing a piece from our "stash" right in front of him to give him practice.

Laying around

We've discovered youtube.com and all the cool things to watch, like old Mickey Mouse shows. They boys were totally in the zone...

Messy Fingers

Nathaniel (and Logan) took a Messy Fingers class through the park and rec center. They both loved the crafts and I loved using someone elses ideas and space :-)

Lunchtime fun

Who knew eating was so fun?

Tadpoles

We got a dozen tadpoles from my sis-in-laws house a few weeks ago. It's been fun to watch them grow into frogs.... One of them is climbing on the walls of the fish tank, I guess it's time to let them go in a nearby pond. Nathaniel had fun saying goodbye to Kermit...

Zoo trip

Spent the day with our cousins at the Zoo. We had so much fun! The animals were all out and about and I had two helpers to carry tired boys! Nate loves petting the goats and we took a special ride on the train.

Bella

Nate got to spend another weekend with his "best friend" Bella. He took care of her the whole weekend. He made sure she had water, food, snacks and a good walk everyday. It was like having a small baby sitter at our house. Although Logan wanted to help take care of her too which sometimes caused a bit of a conflict. They both Love Bella! My favorite comment from Nate was, "Bella put the twinkle in my eye. I love you Bella!"
