Stretching Our Legs

On our drive back from visiting my sister and the zoo, we made a stop at a park in a city we passed through. There was a fun play area.


Playing hide and seek with Mommy and Daddy.

Peeling bark off a tree.

A stick for hitting a tree with, of course!

And he's finally spent!

Zoo

We had so much fun taking Ty to the zoo for the first time. We stayed with my sister, who also loved having some quality time with her nephew while we had a couple of date nights. It was a very fun trip and Ty can't wait to visit the zoo again!

Wheelin'

Ty is really into trucks right now. He especially loves his truck book that has pictures of construction, farm and city vehicles - it has a dump truck on the cover, so Ty calls it his "dump truck" book. As we drive down the street he is constantly pointing out by name "excavators, bulldozers, forklifts, tractors, cement trucks..." You get the idea. It is the cutest thing because he says it in his little scratchy voice. He loves his electric-powered ATV that he can ride to the park and back. He also loves to ride in Daddy's new truck/jeep. Look at the pure glee on his face after we did a little off-roading at a local park.


This is Daddy's new toy....um, I mean Jeep.

Sunglasses

Playing around with Ty's sunglasses...which amazingly fit Jamie too!

Green Beret

We were visiting one of our friends who happens to be a Green Beret and so all of his gear was laying out and Ty was immediately fascinated with it, in particular the backpack. (He likes Dora the Explorer, so of course he knows how cool backpacks are!) Andrew was kind enough to let him try it on and then Ty got to ride around in Andrew's big duffle backpack...you heard me right. He was IN it. Ty loved playing with all of Andrew's gear!

Mexican Food

Nana treated Mommy and Ty to lunch one day. He loved the chips and salsa and the treat at the end (which is what is in the photos). It was hard to keep him sitting still, so it ended up being a pretty short lunch, but still fun and definitely memorable!

CARS

Every night before bed Ty gets to pick at least one book to read. One of his favorites is his Cars book and he just happens to be wearing his Cars pj's while reading his Cars book! (Thanks Nana and Papa for the great gifts!)
