Summer Fun

 Our summer got off to a great start with a visit from our old neighbors the Strain's. We really miss having them as neighbors. We took the kids to the zoo and they had a wonderful time.

 Of course Jack loved spending time with the goats. He got to brush their hair and pet them. We also got to walk through the new Kangaroo exhibit.

 Our garden tripled in size this year. We have picked several cucumbers and peppers. All our tomatoes are green now but will be red soon. The beautiful artwork is by Jack.

 We decided it was time for Jack to sleep in a big boy bed. He was very excited to have a big boy room. We took him to the new splash pad at our local park. He is the little boy in the white shirt running with all the big boys. He did not want to play with the little boys.

 It seems like it has rained almost everyday so it was nice to have one beautiful day to take him to the park. He really enjoyed playing in the water.

 However, he saw the playground and was ready to go play.

 He loves sliding so he was excited to find this really big slide.

 A trip to the park would not be complete without a visit to the train car. He had to check it all out and exam each piece.


Jack never really eats sweets but.....since it is summer I baked him a cake. Every time he walks by the cake he wants to eat a piece. More fun summer activities will be coming soon.
