Fun day out for everyone - Sydney came out to see what we were doing. Sydney got to meet some sheep. Sheep were too busy eating grass to care about Sydney. Then Sydney got to go to the dog park. He thought it was OK

Fun day out for everyone - Boys got some shiny rocks but no gold & Sydney came out to see what we were doing. Sydney got to meet some sheep. Sheep were too busy eating grass to care about Sydney. Then Sydney got to go to the dog park. He thought it was OK.

Panning for gold. The Park Ranger explains it to the boys. Michael tries but Andrew would rather play with his car. Then Andrew realizes he can just play in the water.

Michael needs to watch his back!!!!

Yes, Andrew is great going down the stairs all by himself, holding a sword in one hand but safety first - holding the railing with the other hand!!!!

Andrew wants to go to the big pool. Michael finishes a snack before jumping into the pool.

Birkdale splash area.

Andrew and Sydney

At the Charlotte Knights baseball game - Sat night game - Mom caught a t-shirt, Dad caught a fly ball, and fireworks after the game - what an awesome night!!!

Andrew likes to read the program.

Rocket day!!! Bryan got some amazing rockets and he and Michael went off to shoot rockets into the air!! They had lots of fun. Andrew and I joined them another day to share the fun - way cool!!!

Great park!!!

More pictures at the park - so many things to see. Andrew made friends in the candy house. I showed Andrew how to use the mister - very cool to have mist for those hot days. Andrew learned very quickly - I took my eyes off him for a few minutes and next thing I knew he was VERY WET - I didn't think mist could make someone THAT WET!!! Luckily it was a hot day so he was very happy!!!

Great new playground!! Boys love it!!!

Sydney enjoys a doggie granola bar.

More fun at the Mall. First a little shopping for big toys at Bass Pro Shop, then a look at the rides after some ice cream at the food court.

Bowling with the playgroup. This was the first time Andrew bowled. He was not interested after the first 2 frames, so Mom finished the game for him - usually while holding him.

Parish picnic - pastor in the dunk tank.

Lots of fun - Michael joined a wiffle ball game.

After finding a local mini golf course we had to play it again. Dad still working on the holes at home. Very hot - course at home much better - can take a break in the cool house and get water and snacks between holes!!!

After the concert we were off with Uncle Thomas and decided to play mini-golf. First time we played local mini golf after our trip to NJ. Fun for all but very hot - very happy to take some shade at the holes in the cave!!!
