Thing One & Thing Two

I'm sure it won't be long before Dylan and Heath start to object to being dressed alike for their parents amusement but for now...

Log Flume - Storyland

The log flume at storyland is one of those rides where they take your picture and you can see it when you get off the ride. When we first saw Andrew's picture the assumption was that he HATED the ride but when he got off he immediately asked to go again... 5 TIMES! 

Each time the picture looked exactly the same...

Final swimming lesson

Last week Andrew had his last swimming lesson for the season. He has come a long way this summer!

Best Friends

Apparently arriving at day care to discover that you and your best friend are dressed alike AGAIN (although this time completely by accident) is not amusing!

Backyard Camping Part Two

The kids had such a great time camping last time that we decided to try it again.  They played in the yard, cooked their hot dogs over the fire, made s'mores (which they ate while watching Despicable Me on the portable DVD player) and then all slept in their tents. It was a lot colder out than it was last time but everyone still seemed to have fun.

Still a little groggy this morning and watching Jungle Book after breakfast.

Even after LONG afternoon naps I think the boys were still tired. Dylan was helping us pack up the 'campsite' and looked more like he wanted to take a nap!

Playing hooky.. AGAIN

Andrew and I have decided that there are better ways to spend a Monday than running errands and cleaning the house ;-) Yesterday he and I packed up a picnic lunch and headed to the park to play and have a picnic with his friend Julian and his mom. After lunch we headed over to the pool for some swimming before the summer gets away from us. We had a great time!

The lifeguards let the boys play with their float (guess its not really needed to rescue someone from the 1 1/2 foot kiddie pool) and they loved it!

17 Months Old!

Another month has flown by and Dylan is now 17 months old. He now has a mouth full of teeth and is starting to talk a lot more. He is no longer walking but RUNNING all over the place and convinced he can do ANYTHING that his big brother can do :-)

A couple of shots before we left school

Enjoying 'birthday' chicken nuggets

The 'take a picture with me too!' pictures are getting harder and harder... and sometimes a little dangerous ;-)

Squeaky Clean

"Don't talk to me while I'm watching Mickey"

Bedtime... Maybe ;-)

Summer Vacation 2013

Last week we packed up the new explorer and headed out for vacation.  We spent an afternoon by the pool at Gaga and Grandpa's house and then headed up to North Conway for the week. We went to Clark's trading post in Lincoln, spent a day on the swift river, had a great day at the beach with Uncle Jim and went to Storyland. After all of that we visited with Grandma and some cousins and then back to Gaga and Grandpa's for more swimming and a visit with Baba.  Lots packed into our week and plenty of pictures. Here are just a few.

Full Album of pictures... Warning, I took a TON

Watching Baseball with Grandpa

Clearly Andrew is not impressed by Cinderella's throne
