Foot painting!
We thought it would be fun to get down and dirty with some finger paints. I gave Nathan a brush at first because he is funny about getting paint on his hands, so we weren't sure how he would react to getting his feet dirty.

Showing off his brush.
Use your feet Nathan! No, not paint your feet...

That's it! Nice work!

Yee haw!
EWWW!! THERE'S PAINT ON MY FEET!!!!
Get it off, get it off, get it off!!
Paint on my feet is gross, but a bucket on my head, now that's fun.

THE BEACH!

We spent a wonderful day at the beach with our friends Gord and Alyssa. Nathan was very brave and ventured thigh deep into the water! Nice job!
Mostly, he was fascinated by the sand under the water
Alyssa was more interested in building sand castles than playing in the water
Gotta love goofy summer hats!



Good times

We went to the Children's Museum to see the Bob the Builder Exhibit. Nathan had a fabulous time playing at the exhibit and all of the other neat attractions. He even made a sunflower gluing project complete with sunflower seeds to take home!




Pilchard the cat and Bob the Builder greet you as you walk in. Bob get a high five!


and Pilchard gets climbed...

Driving Rolly

He loved pushing the wheelbarrow full of stuff all around.
Look at daddy! Come on, look buddy! He's right there! Look up!
Swabbing the deck.


He pretty much swabbed the whole boat. What is this fascination with cleaning?

Nathan and Daddy exploring the pyramid
He even found this cool car to drive around!
The Children's Museum was a lot of fun. Nathan was so excited he ran everywhere and didn't want to leave, even though he was completely exhausted! Definitely worth every penny.

And lots of eating. Notice the hopeful Heidi knowing exactly where to wait for food...
and cleaning (he didn't get that gene from me!)
and relaxing... aaaaahhhhh
and playing
and exploring - oooh pinecones!

and doing puzzles with Pops
ok, DIGGING puzzles with Pops. Much more fun!
and helping with the gardening
hmm, let's see if I can sit and dig at the same time....
But mostly we just keep him in a box.

Yay summer!!
