Erie County MetroParks has ‘Park Pals’ events for little kids. I am looking for just about anything to get these kids out of the house so off we went.
Mommy, there’s a dog with horns over here. You need to check this out. Ha ha ha….I touched it.
There were all sorts of barnyard critters we learned about.
Eli followed the poor leader around the whole time wanting to pet everything. He’s such an animal kid.
Whatever you may call them, I don’t care, they are everywhere. But! I will take these little critters any day over the muffle heads. The muffle heads swarm and buzz and you eat at least three a day by accident.
This morning we awoke to the pleasant surprise of fish flies all over the house. The boys love it! If you haven’t had the pleasant experience of these fine bugs yet in your lifetime, they literally don’t do anything. When you pick them up by their wings they wiggle a little and that’s about it. Elijah giggles. So the boys spent most of the day picking the bugs off every surface around them and laughing. Which, of course, led to some cute pictures.
Our neighbor Jack joined the fun. (No we didn’t have another boy!)
If you look closely, the entire bug cage is FULL of fish flies they collected off the front of the house. Elijah is saying cheese. Can you tell?
Mark planned an adventure for us today! We headed over to the Cleveland Aquarium.
Eli did a lot of screaming and pointing.
The touch tank full of sting rays was a hit.
We met daddy for lunch at the park.
Peter and Joey are now doing their ‘creature reports’ in daddy’s summer notebook. What a cool dad.
Cousins here, cousins there, cousins everywhere…
Cousins at the fair… (sorry, this picture does not do the excitement justice)
Cousins going fishing….
Cousins throwing rocks…
Cousins in a truck…
…To Pop Pop and RuRu’s we went! The baby chicks are always a highlight.
Elijah loved everything. He spent a lot of time in his boots following his brothers. Tiger the cat was very patient.
Swings are also a popular choice.
Peter enjoyed some time on the tractor. Pop Pop even let him drive around the field.
Elijah discovered the trampoline too. Mommy even got to do a few tricks and flips from the old days!
Fair and Cousin time post to come…..
