Daddy's Home!

Daddy has been home for exactly four weeks now and gosh are we having fun! We have been on so many different adventures... the lake, the zoo, the Hands-On Museum, the Metroparks, even the dog park! The boys have love the lake. They love to ride the speed boat, the paddle boat, and last weekend we took them kayaking for the first time. We also go up the Greenfield Village two or three times a week. Our goal is to ride each animal on the carousel this summer! They also love to ride the train and the model-T cars, and they love the horses and other animals at the farm. For Father's Day we got daddy a pull-behind bike trailer that has a stroller attachment, so we have been taking the boys rollerblading and biking all over the place. Rigby likes when we go rollerblading on the path at Lake Erie Metropark so we can swim and run along side us until his tongue just about touches the ground. Earlier this week we were going to bike up to Pizza Hut to get a pizza for dinner and despite saying to each other "It kinda looks like it might rain..." we went anyways. Luckily the boys were completely covered in the trailer because just as we were leaving Pizza Hut the sky let loose with the biggest downpour we have had in months!!! Jon and I were soaked to the bone but the boys seemed to enjoy the rain and when we got home and cuddled into a cold, sopping wet puddle in the basement, we all laughed so hard we about peed our pants.

Aside from adventures, the boys have learned a ton of new tricks since daddy has been home. They can give high fives and kisses. They can feed us bites of their snacks... unless its something they really like, then they just pretend they will give us a bite and at the last second shove it in their own mouths :) Any time we turn music on, of one of their toys plays some music, they dance and be-bop all over the place. They are both standing on their own now and believe it or not, head bonks aren't as common as they used to be. It won't be long before they are walking! YIKES!

I can't believe four weeks of summer have already passed. I've got to do a better job of keeping track of our adventures. Next weekend we are taking the boys to New York to meet Jon's grandparents, and then two weeks after that we are going to the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio! But for the time being, we're just enjoying every single moment of our whole family being home together day after wonderful day :)
