A bbq with friends!

Mommy and Daddy had our friends Kimi and Lucien and John and Allison over this weekend for a bbq so you got to hang out with your buds Emma, Claire, Warren and Veronica. This may have been the only 30 seconds that you actually sat at your chair but I managed to catch it on film!
Being uninterested in food you tend to wander away after a few measly bites. Somehow you keep thriving though!

Great Grandma visits!

Great Grandma came to visit us for two weeks this summer! You two had lots of fun during the days, you played outside, made drawings and did some baking! You love Pollachinta! (Not sure how to spell this properly!)

She was oh so happy to have made the visit and especially happy to see you.

Petting Zoo at Beacon Hill Park

This is becoming a tradition for us, and you love it every year, so why not? You liked all of the animals this year but Peanut Butter, the miniature horse, was the highlight for you this time :)

Brushing the goats so gently.

More Yard Work

You want to do everything you see us doing, including the less glamourous jobs! So this does include yard work and in a few years we may give this resposibility to you entirely!

You are also very interested in Daddy's weedwhacker. You will say "Wiw do weed whacking?"
We say no that's an adult tool etc, whining and crying ensues...

The VIEX

This year the VIEX was a disaster! Last year you rode on the merry go round with Mommy just fine so we were quite surprised when you were really scared of the rides!
At first you were really eager to try the rides but this year I wasn't allowed to ride with you. You would get onto a ride and as soon as it started you would start wailing so they had to take you off! Of course as soon as you stopped crying you would insist on going on this or that ride again and the same thing would happen again!
We even tried putting you on with a bigger kid, nothing worked.
You would get past the gate and then would refuse to let go of my hand saying on the verge of tears "Mommy come too?" When I would explain "No mommy has to stay here but I will be right here and I'll wave to you!" you made it onto the ride once and waved once and then bawled and the next time wouldn't even let go of my hand. It was heartbreaking so we gave it up.

This motionless tractor was much more to your liking so we hung out here:

Daddy managed to snap a quick picture of you before this ride started up:

Much happier with a big lemonade! Oh well, we'll try again next year!

Bambi name

I just wanted to make a quick entry dedicated to a funny thing you say so that we'll never forget it!
We have been teaching you lately that Mommy and Daddy have real names like other people so the other day in the car we heard you say from the back seat:
"Mommy name: Abecca. Daddy name: Aaron. A bambi name: BAMBI."
LOL!

Robo Will

This was just too funny not to post! Daddy bought this robot hat with the intention of wearing it at Hallowe'en since we always make fun of him for being half robot.
You seem to be quite emotional however so I'm not worried about you being a robo human...
