Every year in late July, the City of Olympia has a big party downtown called LakeFair. It’s a carnival, festival and fair wrapped up in one.
We were hoping Liam would be able to ride some of the rides, but of course he was an inch too short (even with his hair!) It was such a hot day that we decided to instead spend our time in the downtown fountain – we had a TON of fun!
My postings usually revolve around an event or outing of some kind, so you never really get the real news of what’s happening with us. Hopefully this post will bring you up to speed. . .
I’ve been going through Liam’s stuff, cleaning out toys he doesn’t play with, clothes that are too small or too hot for the summer.
In the process, I came across his costumes, which Liam was pleased to play with. He looked very cute in each of the costumes, but putting them together. . .that’s another story.
Last week the weather was hot and Elmo the Sprinkler was calling to us.
Liam had a wonderful time playing in the water, although he’s very unsure of it. He won’t run through it, just approach it slowly and then run away. I suppose he’ll learn before too long that it’s hard to outrun a sprinkler and the real fun is getting sprinkled.
Last week Liam and I took a “field trip” to the Olympia Children’s Museum. Last fall I splurged for a year-long membership and I’m embarrassed at how little we’ve used it. Liam had so much fun that even after two hours of running around he still didn’t want to leave!
This past Sunday we went to a Mariner’s baseball game up in Seattle. This was Liam’s first major league baseball experience and he LOVED it!
He wasn’t sure what to think about all the people and the loud noises, but for the most part he was all smiles!
Summer is here! With warm weather comes playing outside and it didn’t take Liam long to have his first head-to-toe mess from the mud and dirt. He loved every minute of it, and I have to admit, I did too. I love seeing him so happy, even if in the back of mind I’m wondering how I’m going to get his clothes clean again.
The “For Sale” sign went up in the front yard today. It’s official, our house is on the market.
While working in the yard yesterday a little frog jumped out of a flower pot. It was the first frog that Liam’s seen and he wasn’t quite sure what to think.
Liam wanted to touch the little frog so bad, but every time he’d get close, it would jump and it would freak him out.
After a long, cold, rainy winter the sun has finally shown it’s face and we have been loving it! We have spent the last two days outside and plan to do the same thing tomorrow.
