Summer Fun

One of my major "loves" this summer has been slides. My mom has been taking me to the park, so I can go down the slide over and over again. Finally, we got a few slides of our own. Here I am in our backyard with my Aunt Heather.

One, two, three....I'm off!

I've also been spending time mowing the lawn like daddy (although I prefer to mow the walkway and the mulch most days).

Since my mom's pregnant belly is getting bigger and bigger as the summer progresses, she can't really chase me around the back yard anymore. Instead, she gated off the deck for a little outdoor playground as you can see.

And even though my sandbox has yet to be filled with sand, I still have a good time playing in it!

We've also made a few trips to the zoo this summer. The first time, I was more interested in running around the zoo than actually looking at the animals, but by the end of the summer, I started to get the hang of things. Here I am petting an elephant...how cool!
And of course, lots of time was spent at my water table....rain or shine.

Even my friends enjoyed my "back deck" playground!

My Grandma B (or "Mama," as I like to call her) got me an outdoor tent for camp, which I love.
"Peek-A-Boo, Aunt Heather!"

And finally, one of my favorite activities of the summer has been getting together with friends for BBQs. Here I am on a date with my favorite girl, Madelyn. I know it's no Scotch and Sirloin, but we had a good time.

Although it's going to be hard to say good-bye to summer, I am looking forward to the fall.... lots of football and the arrival of my baby brother. I can't wait!!!
