Swimming

That's what we've been up to. Last two weeks, we've been poolside at the club from 4pm till 8pm. It's been so hot and the boys love swimming. It's even a little break for us, if there are other kids and their parents are in the water too! Logan did try to slip under the water two times last week. He just kept going deeper and deeper after his big brother. Just a reminder we still have to keep close tabs on him. Thankfully Daddy was on top of it! Daddy tried to shake it off be "tossing" Logan high. Why do Daddies insist on doing these crazy stunts????? Glad everyone was smiling at the end.

Oaks Park

We told the boys at the county fair that instead of riding lots of rides there, we would take them to Oaks Park in a few days. Boy did they have fun today! We met up with Oma and Papa Jim and a friend from college with her two girls and husband. And of course the outing would not be complete without a cheeseburger!

Another County Fair

We missed the Demolition Derby at the fair a few weeks ago so we went to the Clark County Fair this last week. The boys were talking about the Demolition Derby ALL DAY LONG. They were super excited. Traffic was terrible getting there, but we made it with enough time to ride one of the 'kid' rides. Then we found our seats in the grandstands. The boys were glued to the area floor watching all those cars run into each other. Very exciting. One of the cars caught on fire, many of them were smoking at the end. They even did a round of Motror homes driving into each other till only one was left standing. Afterwards we took a look at the animals too.

Big Truck Day 2012

Running as fast as we can to Big Truck Day. The boys loved getting in the big trucks and honking the horns and pushing all the levers. I forgot the earmuffs so it was a bit loud. We took a little time out to play on the playground and meet up with some buddies. After a few more truck visits we had a little picnic and then ran wild with our friends till it was nap time.

Birthday Boy

My little boy turned 2!!!! We had a fun little party at the park. The kids enjoyed enjoyed playing in the water fountain. My mom even got in on the fun. There was also a small water fight with cups near the water jug... Uncle Stevie was last seen with water jug full of ice... not sure who got it on their head :-)

Airshow

The boys had so much fun at the 2012 Airshow! We were one of the fortunate ones that won tickets through work to sit in the designated area right across from the middle of the runway. The show started with parachuters... which Nate and Logan were fascinated with and would not stop asking for them the rest of the day. After watching for a bit we looked around at the various planes and talked with the pilots when avaiable. I think they we expecting some question about how to fly the plane or their credentials... not 'when are you going to eat lunch?'. So fun to see into the mind of a 3 year old! Logan and I went home after lunch for naptime while Nate and Daddy stayed to see the Thunderbirds finale. He can't wait to go again next year!

County Fair Fun

We spent the day at the fair. The first hour or so just looking at all the tractors. We finally made it to see the animals, then passed the one man orchestra which both boys got to shake the morraccas for, and finished the fun with the magician/juggler show.
