Today I will have to cover two days of activity. We got a little busy and I got distracted.
Tuesday -
Joey helps do the dishes this morning. He’s becoming quite the little climber. He practices every day on the steps. He even learned how to get around daddy’s 3 chair barrier set up at the bottom of the steps.
Peter makes his way down to the beach. He had to help carry some of the toys. Luckily they were in a nice back pack just his size. The other bag is full of doughnuts. He insisted on carrying these. They even trumped puppy. And for those of you who know Peter, this is a very big deal. He made sure they made it safely to the towel and then cleared the icing off the vanilla sprinkle doughnut before going to work at digging a hole.
Daddy and Joey checked out the water. It was a little chilly to play in but Joey enjoyed grabbing the soft sand and building a little pile at the waters edge. He will grab any nearby finger and walk to where he wants to go.
Joey thought he was hot stuff in the big chair. We did our best with the sun tan lotion, but the Florida sun still left it’s mark. Poor joey has finger marks on his face (courtesy of mom’s bad application) and Peter just a spot on his wrist. Not so bad for 3 hours in the sunshine. We’ll apply before we get out there next time!
Today Joey ate sand by the shovel full.
We came back around nap time and then hit the green…and the cream :)
Luckily we were the only ones on the course that night, so Peter had a great time discovering how the tunnels worked.
And Joey enjoyed assisting our balls into the hole…and out again…and in again….and out again. I think you get the idea.
Shove it in daddy.
Wednesday -
The boys were very excited this morning to go to the zoo and to pick up Kim and Brian from the airport.
Peter was especially thrilled to go over the skyway bridge on the way to the airport. He watched anxiously as it approached in the front window.
Part of peter’s excitement regarding the zoo was the much talked about train ride. Peter determined it was a diesel engine as opposed to a steam engine. (I’m glad we got that all figured out)
The rest of the afternoon we visited all sorts of critters. Joey was very excited about the turtles. Peter would check one animal out and say, “Let’s go to next animal.” One adventure Peter experienced was feeding the budgies (little birds). They gave you a popsicle stick covered in bird seed and then you went into an enclosed area. The birds swarmed you to sit on your stick (and arm, shoes, head – and almost down the back of your pants if you sit too long) to eat the food.
We pet the goats and fed the goats…
And soon it was time to go home as we were all exhausted! We stopped at the ‘pool house’ (as Peter has named it) to drop off a few things and then headed to grammy and pop paul’s for a fantastic meal and birthday celebration.
We filled a bucket with oranges and grapefruit.
Joey enjoyed tossing them into the bucket and was very upset when he realized we weren’t going to immediately eat the oranges we had just picked. He ended up winning the argument and had an orange for dinner. Well, he sucked all the juice he could from the wedges that were peeled.
Peter enjoyed his cupcake for dessert
…while Joey was sure grammy had made the strawberry pie just for him!
A few presents and a little play time later….
The boys are snuggled in bed resting up for another big day. Tomorrow we’re off to the beach with Kimmer and B Rye.
