We have been having a lot of fun as a family recently! Since Noah is out of school, we've had more playdates with friends and have visited the POOL now that it is open on weekends. So far we've gone to the pool once, if not twice each day it's been open. Yesterday, Michael went down to stand in line (it is often at full capacity), while I got Noah all ready for the pool. I stayed with Ethan while he napped and I sent Noah down the hill, across the park all by-himself to meet Michael! I stood on the back deck and watched him the whole way. It was so cute to watch my little boy setting off alone, carrying his big pool bag. He only paused for a moment, as he passed the playground. Of coarse, Michael was right there waiting for him at the pool. What a big boy!
Here are some pictures from some of our recent adventures:
Cherry and Strawberry picking at Chiles' Orchard
Going on a hike through Sugar Hollow.
This is the same hike where we had the fortunate chance to see a black bear!
...with "Aney" of coarse. Sadly, since this picture, Aney has been lost.
Noah misses him terribly!
All the recent thunderstorms have made great days for making some play-doh!
Our first meal out on our deck for Memorial Day!
Our little pirate has needed to wear his patch for a couple hours a day again, but his cool new patch is much better than the sticky band-aid ones he used to wear.
