Weekend Adventures






Brian had a 3 day weekend this week. We had a good time enjoying the extra time off. We took River to Tolmie State Park. It is one of our favorite parks and is close by. We have not been there in a long time. River had fun exploring around. There were several encounters of booted little feet getting in the water and one quick effort to run all the way into the water. The attempt was stopped by Mon, but it was a close call. River loves to watch and wait until I am not paying attention to make his move, quick as anything. He keeps me on my toes! We did not take a stroller or pack and he was free to roam the whole time. It got to be a little to much for him as it was time to leave. He was hungry and tired, but it was a fun time. We love that now he is older he can actually enjoy some of the places we take him.


That evening we took him to open gym gymnastics. He got to jump in the foam pits and run on the running trampoline. He had so much fun. He is starting to talk in sentences now. Mostly 2 word things but we get a lot of " I want to walk" . It seems he picks up a few new words everyday. He copies EVERYTHING Brian and I say. He has sat in the back seat of the car repeating everything Brian and I say as we are having a conversation.


For the rest of the weekend Brian has been working on insulating his shop and turning it into a place that he can play his music.

It's great when the kids are old enough to "enjoy"!

Ashton repeats everything too. His fave word is one of Jeff's..."dagonit". He says it all the time!!
