Summer Fun!

On Mother's Day, Ian went out for the first time in our new bike trailer. He really liked riding in the trailer around the cul-de-sac, but he wasn't such a big fan of wearing his helmet for the rest of the ride. We all DID love our destination, though ... a nearby gully where we fed bread to the turtles. We look forward to many more family bike rides!
Ian loves wearing his shades ... and then taking them off .... and then asking for them to be put back on ... and then taking them off ...
Ian's friend Caleb spent a part of this past weekend with us while his parents attended a graduation. Ian and Caleb especially liked their time at the park on the swings and using their new bubble wands from our neighbors, Steve and Kathy.
On Sunday, Ian went in a baby pool for the first time. He helped Daddy fill it up,
posed with Momma by the Easter lilies, and then got right in ... (see video)



Daddy poured water over Ian's head to initiate him right away. Ian didn't seem to mind.

Soon he was splashing away ...






Ian will undoubtedly spend MANY more afternoons in the backyard in a baby pool. (He has a brand-new turtle swimming pool and brand-new Snoopy swim trunks to use soon!) We're also looking forward to taking Ian into our subdivision big pool and letting him "run" through the sprinklers as soon as he's even steadier on his feet. What a fun time!
Ian was fascinated watching Daddy mow the lawn, so we decided that we could put Ian to work!
Just like Daddy!!! ;)
Ready, Dad? GO!
What wonderful guys I live with!! Aren't they cute?? :)

So much fun! It looks like Ian is a natural in the water! We bought a whale pool for Henry last summer and it was so cool all summer we only got to use it twice! We're hoping for a hot summer (I know you don't have that problem!) so we can put it to good use!
