Slides and "Story"

We spent 4th of July weekend with Barbara and Doug in Kansas City. The weekend consisted of relaxing, taking Sawyer to a couple parks so he could slide and then hitting a Sunday matinee of Toy Story 3 in 3D (more commonly referred to by Sawyer as "Story"). He had a blast and hasn't stopped talking about "story" since we left the theater.

Fishing with Daddy

Chris had his first attempt at teaching Sawyer how to fish a couple weeks ago. Sawyer was really interested for about 30 seconds and then he got distracted. He kept trying to throw his pole into the lake. I guess he thought that would be more fun than standing still waiting for a fish to bite. Things got really exciting when Chris caught one and reeled it in. Sawyer thought it was really cool at first until Chris picked the flopping fish up and tried to let Sawyer touch it. He went running to the ramp and wanted off that dock as fast as possible! Everything was ok when Chris put the fish back in the water and Sawyer spent the rest of the time looking for it. We had a really funny video of the whole experience except somehow it got deleted off of Chris's phone. Huge Bummer!

We miss the pool!

It has been rainy all week and we haven't gotten to go swimming one time...sad for me and Sawyer! :(

Maybe next week...

Sawyer has been getting a little braver when it comes to the water. When summer started he wasn't really sure about the whole swimming thing, but now he will jump and splash and go all the way out until the water is just under his chin. He has come a long way. He loves the slide at the rec plex pool and we are almost to the point where he will go down without holding my hand. Hopefully taking the week off didn't set him back!
