A Day at the Fair

 We had a fun time at an extremely crowded fair hosted by a community near us.  Phin loves rides and really enjoyed the motorcycle.  I'm also going to throw in a picture of Phin and his Uncle Lee having a great time at a fair that we visited while in Connecticut this summer. So much fun!

 

End of Summer

So...apparently I'm terrible at posting pictures over the summer.  I am going to do my best to put up a whole bunch of pictures of all of the fun we had soon.  Here are a couple from today as we enjoy a beautiful labor day weekend.  (P.S. Phin has a rug burned nose)
 

Sprinkler

Following directions we found online, we made a sprinkler out of a pool noodle.  I have some improvements for the next time we use it, but it was lots of fun.  Jonas especially liked the water.

Here Jonas figured out he could drink the water if he put his hand in the spray and then in his mouth.

 

Rainy Day Picnic

Last week we ended up having a picnic lunch at a pavilion in the park.  I had wanted to do lunch at a different playground/park or a petting zoo, but Jonas waking everyone up at 5:15 meant early morning naps and a change of our day.  By the time we went, it was late enough our choices were limited and a dense fog meant it was cold and drizzling everywhere.  Good thing our park has pavilions!  We had a scenic lunch near the lake and got to watch lots of people and dogs go for walks (a Jonas favorite).  
(Just a warning, pictures are not top quality/focus)

 

Bubbles!

The boys had a lot of fun today with a bubble machine from their Uncle Joey.

 

Water Fun

On Monday we decided to beat the heat after nap time by enjoying some water in our front yard.  I spent most of the time trying to get Jonas to stop drinking the water.  Phin thought it was hysterical to take scoops of the water and spray it across the sidewalk.  I see a lot more water in our future this summer...

In this picture Phin (unprompted) has his hand up saying, "No, no, no" to Jonas (for attempting to drink the water) and thinking it was very funny. 

 

Two Smiles

It is a hard task to get both kids smiling, sitting still, and looking in the general area of the camera.  Here's the best we got from a recent try on Trinity's campus after church one day.  These boys constantly melt our hearts.

I thought this one was funny because Phin is lounging.

Something must have been pretty funny to Jonas in this one.
