Cuddling with Daddy

Until I took the picture, Baby X was looking at the camera too.

Lazy River

We tried out Grandma M's city pool last summer and it's awesome. So we went again this weekend. It's huge, but last year it was so crowded. This year we went on the 5th of July, after dinner. They were staying open until ten the 4th and 5th but just about no one knew that so it was pretty empty.

Their favorite part is "Lazy River."
You just float around in these inner tubes, through a tunnel of mist and some squirty water.
Baby X even got in but I didn't get a picture. B and I traded boys so when Baby X was in with him I had to get wet and go around Lazy River with Buddy.

Here are me and Baby X before we got in. Photo by me.

Buddy turns blue the easiest and quickest. So he's
always the first one out due to blue lips and shivering.

Princess Sparkley and B took turns being the wolf chasing the three little pigs. Again, this is with my digital camera so there's no sound. Personally, it sort of reminds me of the old movie projector films my parents used to play for us from the late Seventies to early Eighties, the poor quality of the film, no sound, etc.

Father/Son Camp Out

We finally got to use the new tent we got for Christmas. There was a church Father/Son Camp Out last weekend. Princess Sparkley was quite devastated. But we stayed home and painted toenails and watched Princess movies while eating popcorn, etc. Daddy and Boy roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and tried out our new tent.

(He just saw me post this picture and said to Princess Sparkley,
"You want to see our new tent? It's beautiful.")

Boy in the tent. He just said to me, "And when we were walking in it it went "crunch crunch crunch crunch." They were set up on some really tall grass.

Daddy spent 15 minutes rubbing Boy's head trying to wake him up the next morning.

Breakfast in the back of the car... a banana and a cereal bar.

Apparently our tent has a doggy door. This was perfect because Boy's newest comfort object (added to his two baby burp rags turned blankeys) is a black lab stuffed puppy that we bought before Princess Sparkley was born and named Pork Chop. So here are Boy and Pork Chop peeking out our tents doggy door.


This picture is from Boy's first Father/Son Camp Out in California when he was probably just over a year old.
