Playing with the big trucks

What more could a little boy ask for? Fire trucks, dump trucks, garbage trucks, tractors and many more all lined up at the annual "Touch a Truck". Matt got to sit inside, honk the horns (hence the earplugs) and basically play with the big rigs. So much fun.

Mr. Brown is a wonder...

 During one of our recent storms after hearing a big thunder clap Matthew says "that's Mr. Brown up there making thunder".

We've read this book a time or two...never realizing how literally our 2 year old would take its wording...until now.

Summer Wrap up

Saying goodbye to Summer is so bittersweet.  This Summer we...

...made and popped over 300 water balloons

 Played at the beach.

 Learned to climb to new heights...

 

And discovered the joy of a swing...

 Shared fun times with our siblings...

 Fixed things around the house...

 Toured a firestation...

Had a tea party...

Sailed on makeshift canoes

 

Saw some interesting plants

 Got to vacation with cousins

 Went for lots of jogs

Enjoyed the grass while taking care of our friend's bunnies

Made a couple purchases - one big, one small.

Guess which one is Aaron's and which one is Matt's...

 Celebrated some birthdays

Soaked up the sun and stayed cool in the lake

 

 Harvested a lot of cherry tomatoes from our garden

(this picture is just the beginning)

 Canned peaches and jam

We love you Summer! See you next year!
