For those who have been asking, here are a few photos to highlight what we've been up to lately. We've been busy.
This is James and his new bike that we got back in May. He enjoys riding it, but still rides a trike pretty often. He's not too fond of wearing the helmet on his bike.
Alyse thinks the scooter is pretty fun.
We've also spent a good amount of time digging. This is James' hole outside our house. We are hoping to get some landscaping soon, and he keeps asking us not to put rock or plants there. We did buy sand for him to dig in that is along the house and sidewalk leading to the front door. It's been a big hit with them and the neighbors.
We have not been to the park lately, since it has been too hot. Maybe we can go again when it cools off.
We have also made several trips to the children museum. There is a new construction area that James really enjoys, and can spend a good amount of time there. Alyse has a good time too!
We have been spending a a good amount of time swimming to cool off from the heat. James and Alyse both enjoy the water.
We went fishing for Father's Day and caught two fish.
We have took a trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo, and have made several trips to the Lincoln Children's Zoo. James always enjoys the train ride best. He also enjoyed the sharks and penguins.
Alyse found watching the penguins and the colorful fish to be fun.
A good family photo at the rainforest.
We've also been having fun inside. James is playing with shaving cream! (Good way to beat the heat inside.) and spending time with lots of friends. We've had several playdates, and lots of kids in the neighborhood to play with. It's been a fun, hot, and busy summer.
