Summer Fun!

Being able to walk definitely made this summer more exciting for Henry. We had many an adventure to the park nearby to splash in their water features.
And a few days when it was just to darn hot outside, Sam and I took the boys over to an indoor play place called 'Cool Beans'. As you can see in the above photos, they had a great time!

Just taking a rest to cool off for a second!

Daddy, check out this fountain!

Father's Day weekend!

We had a fun day planned for Father's Day this year. We started off by making waffles for breakfast at our house. (In Hahn's brand new flippy waffle maker) And then after Henry's morning nap, we met up to drive to Lyons. We ate lunch at Oskar Blues, which was a hopping place and quite tasty, I got to eat fried green tomatoes!

Finally the big stop was at the pinball arcade on Main street. It's this tiny ramshackle of a building with room after tiny room, stuffed with side by side pinball machines! Hahn, Dad and Gary were all in heaven! I played several games with Dad and 'kind of' held my own against his amazing pinball talent. (My mom says he majored in pinball at CSU)


Pinball was a huge success with the Dads. :)


I also went garage saleing on Saturday and found this awesome tricycle for Henry. He can't actually reach the pedals yet, which is ok because it has a nice handle for pushing him. He LOVES it!


All in all it was a wonderful weekend! Full of yummy food and lots of fun!

Walking!

Just after he turned 16 months in June, Henry finally got the hang of walking. And now nothing can slow him down! He's realized how much easier it is to carry around his toys and push around the bigger ones!

Momma likes it too, because now Henry can walk around when we are out and about. We stopped by Barnes and Noble the other day and he had a blast running around on the stage. The only downside is that with the walking came the independence to not want to leave! He also just mastered the art of running away!


Here's Henry with his lawnmower toy. I was impressed that with his new balance he was able to pull the mower out, push and even reposition it. Of course then he decided to sit on it, which was probably a silly idea. :)


And here's Henry walking across the yard!
