Cheese!

At Cole's school during the Summer they have outdoor water play a couple of times a week, so each child is required to bring water shoes. Since it is the end of the Summer, we brought home all of his stuff the other night and he decided that he wanted to wear his "wagger shoes" around the house (that is water shoes to you and me, lol). That was funny enough, but then he started wearing his bib around his neck as if it were a cape. I thought that it was so cute so I went to get the camera and as soon as he saw it, he started yelling "cheese! cheese!" without any prompting. I wonder if I take too many pictures, hmmm.....

Animal day at Deanna Rose

Cole is VERY into animals right now, so last Saturday we took him to Deanna Rose in Overland Park. He had such good time running from place to place and kept asking for "more animals". I think that his favorite places would have to be the chicken coop (we were confused too, lol) and the dairy barn. He loved milking the cow and saying "Hi Pippi!", which was the very large dairy cow that was sleeping in the barn. The most exciting part of the day was when we got to hear the rooster crowing and Cole did his best imitation, "cock-cock-coo!!!" It is pretty close to the real thing, and cracks us up every time.

Slide...

Last Sunday we were bored just hanging around the house, so we decided to take Cole to a local park. He had a great time running around and playing on all of the slides. It looked like so much fun that Scott decided to join him!

Independence Zoo

This past weekend we went to visit Scott's dad, stepmom and sister in Independence, KS. It was a really good time, especially since Scott's brother and his family came down for the weekend as well. It was a really hot couple of days, but we had a great time swimming, and on Sunday we went to the little zoo that they have there. Cole got to see some animals and play some on the playground. He was kinda tired, but he still played as hard as he could.

Life is Good...

It has been soooooo hot the past couple of weeks that we broke down and bought Cole one of those silly little pools that are only about 4 feet wide. We figured that this would be a great way for him to stay cool and play outside even when it is 95 degrees. Last night was our first night, and he LOVED it. I think that his facial expressions tell the story better than I can.

Bike Parade

Our neighborhood holds a 4th of July bike parade each year where kids decorate their bikes, etc and parade around our pool. This year we decided that we wanted our buddy to participate and since he can't ride a bike, we used the next best thing, his wagon. The little man on the right is Cole's friend Jaxson, and they looked so great cruising around in their patriotic ride. The really fun thing is that they won "Most Patriotic" and both got a $5 gift card to Dairy Queen, yummy!
