Petting Zoo

Monday we took the boys to a local park that has a petting zoo, playground, and spray pad.

Andrew's still being funny about getting wet, he played at this park several times last summer and went through the fountains no problem, but this year he refuses to get his pants wet and tries to take them off if he gets splashed.

AJ is really getting comfortable with water, we plan to start him in swimming lessons this fall or winter.

A day at the beach (or at least a couple hours)

It was so hot today we decided to take the boys to the water to play. I voted for Jetty Island, but Corey didn't want to go that far, so to the lake we went.

Now, I dislike lakes a lot. I mean a lot. They are dirty, and you can rarely see the bottom, and gawd knows what you are stepping on - or what might think your toes are a snack. I've never, ever been a fan of lakes.

The boys had fun though, which counts for something. AJ loves any kind of water he can wade into.







Andrew spent most of his beach time on Corey's shoulders, he wasn't digging the lake either. Now that he's been in the ocean, he's a water snob like his mommy.



The main reason I hate lakes: Ducks. Ducks are dirty and icky and duck water is even dirtier and ickier.




After the lake, we went to the playground on the way out, the boys mostly played on the fire pole. At first, AJ insisted he needed help, but after about 5 minutes he figured out he could do it on his own, and he was so proud of himself.





One last picture of AJ, peering over the railing looking at some kind of tiny nature preserve.



And one of Corey and Andrew sitting in the grass.
