Summer Fun

We have finally had some hot weather this weekend to kick off the unofficial start of summer. The boys had fun playing with water guns & their new slip n slide. They've never played with a slip n slide before, and the instructions specifically prohibit adults from playing on it, so there was no one to show the boys how it's supposed to be done. It was funny to watch, but they still had fun.

Sneaky

For a few weeks now, Connor has been playing this little game with me. I'm sitting at the computer when I see something move in my peripheral vision. I turn to see that Connor has snuck up to the doorway & is peeking at me. When he knows I've seen him, he laughs, squeals, and runs away...knowing he's been caught. The first video is Connor. The second video is Isaac's attempt once he realized I had shot video of Connor doing it. Not quite as sneaky.

Dress-ups

So, I guess it's feast or famine with my blog posts. That's because I only sit down at the computer to download pictures & video from the cameras once every month (or longer). Sorry! I'll try to be better about making time to tend to the blog.

This is just a fun little video of Connor & Isaac playing with dress-up clothes that they got for Christmas. It's nice that I'm able to enjoy watching them play together more & more.

First Camping Trip

Up until now, we've not been brave enough to go camping with the boys. We used to love camping before we had kids, but the thought of doing it with two 1-year-olds or two 2-year-olds seemed too daunting. Somehow age 3 seemed to be the right time. Ryan and I had also never been beach camping, so we decided we might as well go for it & try two firsts in the same trip. We only went for one night since we weren't sure how the boys would do. They loved it & we had a pretty good time too. I see several summer camping trips in our future this year...

Here are a few pictures & videos from our little adventure.

Playing on the beach

Back at the camp, Connor counting the rocks he collected from our campsite.


Whenever they see fire, they think of the fire on their birthday cake...


All tucked in for bed. They actually slept very well!


Yummy camping breakfast. Neither of the boys like eggs, so Ryan & I enjoyed eggs while Connor ate oatmeal & Isaac had a poptart.
