Playing Catch Up

Somebody has been a little behind on blogging and unloading photos.

Last weekend, we met up with Ryan's fraternity brother and his two boys at a park near our house. We tried to go to Bouncer Town, but quickly discovered that it had gone out of business. The park was a great find, though! Great toddler-friendly equipment, lots of shade and a nice fence around the entire play area. Ryan appreciated the rubber mulch and he has said that he now wants that stuff everywhere because it felt so good on his bad back.

Tyson wasn't so sure of the slide. He went down it a few times, but as you can see, he gets a bit more hesitant each time. Oh, and for my photog friends, most of these were taken in full manual. I'm so proud of myself!

Mama, I'm not so sure about this . . .

Toys at my level. Perfect.

We visited the Indiana State Fair. I took several photos, but the majority of them did not turn out for various reasons. Lighting, camera shake, out of focus. I had it all. Too bad because we had a really nice time. Tyson loved the animals and it was nice that he got to spend time with all of his grandparents at the same time. He's a lucky boy to have his grandparents so close!

Ryan and I had to share a lemon shake-up :)

Tyson and I went on a playdate today at a splash park. He *loved* it! The puddles were much more exciting than the actual sprinkler pad. Mama got to visit with some other mamas and Tyson got to play with lots of kids his own age. I didn't have my camera out much due to the watery conditions, so I don't have many photos at all. The little man was worn out and quickly fell asleep in the less than 10 minute drive home.

Brooke (our nanny) and I took the babies to the pool this afternoon. It was quite nice to be there today since the neighborhood kids are back in school. The pool was quiet and we had the entire baby pool to ourselves.

Lauryn and Tyson. She constantly takes whatever Tyson has in his hands, whether it be toys, sippy cups or anything else and he just lets her. Such a little gentleman already :)

Oh, and I'm a cheater. These pics were taken in (gasp!) Auto. I always overexpose in full sun and since it was really bright, I stuck with Auto.

Oh, and molar #4 has popped through so I'm pretty sure that officially makes 5 new teeth in 5 weeks (up to a total of 12) with very little difference in Tyson's demeanor. How did we get so lucky?
