More Sprayground

Sunnyside Park is still my favorite sprayground.  It is closer to our house and it is never crowded.  Last summer, we met Steve for lunch here or at other parks.  Now that he works downtown I miss our summer lunch dates. :(

 

 

 

Somehow we always end up picking clovers after spraygrounds...
 

Thomas the Train

We met the Finleys at a Day Out With Thomas in Baldwin City, KS.  Hannah has been looking forward to it for a long time.  I wouldn't say it was worth the money or the drive, but Hannah loved it.

 

Our plan was for Olive to sleep in the car on the drive to Baldwin City.  She did not.  This was the result on the train ride:

No lines for the slide.  Hannah did this a lot.
 

Olive spent most of her time with the blocks.
 

Hannah's first tattoos.  Thomas was on one cheek and Diesel 10 on the other.
 

This girl makes a friend wherever she goes.  She met this one on the slide and invited her to play on the train tables.  We are constantly amazed that she is so outgoing.
 

I think she was even more excited to meet Sir Topham Hatt than Thomas.
 

She was asleep as soon as she hit the car seat.

Hannah quotes from the day:

"Is there a potty on the Island of Sodor?"

Hannah (crying):  I don't want to leave!

me: We have a surprise for you.  We're going to Norah's house to take a nap!  You get to see Norah!

Hannah:  Suddenly I'm not crying anymore!  The tears are going back in my eyes!  I'm happier and happier.

Parents as Teachers

Another summer adventure:  We went to Parents as Teachers playtime with Broday (and Levi).  It is for ages 0-3, but apparently that means up to, not including, age 3.  They said Hannah was really too old. :(  I wish I would have known about this place last summer.  It has a ton of fun stuff to do, and it's close to our house.

 

 

Baby Levi- just chillin'
 

 

Corporate Challenge Track

 

 

 

 Hannah was super excited to watch Steve race, although she was upset there wasn't a kids' race.  He did some laps on the field with her after he was finished, so she got to run, too.

Loose Park

One of our first adventures of the summer was to Loose Park.  It was Olive's first time playing in a sprayground.  She lost interest pretty soon, signed "all done", and started picking clovers off to the side.        So we took a walk over to explore the rose garden since we've never been there before.  They were in full bloom!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Olive's First Haircut

Olive's first haircut at 13 months old.  She was not very happy about it.

 

 

 

Grass Feet

 

Memorial Day Weekend

I'm backing up to the beginning of summer: Memorial Day Weekend.  We kicked off the summer right with a party at the Baileys, where we met little Oskar for the first time.
 

Next up was girls night at Power & Light to celebrate my cousin Lauren's (belated) birthday.  We took the opportunity to ride the mechanical bull at PBR.  Okay, I forced everyone to ride the bull. :)  It was epic.  I was a little scared that getting thrown off would hurt, but it wasn't bad at all.

 

This would be a cute picture if Marissa's head hadn't sprouted a second head.
 

Marissa and Casey stayed with us for the weekend and the girls loved playing with their aunt and uncle.  Best of all:  THEY ARE MOVING TO KC THIS SUMMER!  Can you tell I'm excited?
 

We finished the weekend by going to Longview Lake for swimming and sandcastles.  The girls loved it!  Olive sat on the shore and laughed when the waves rocked her backwards.  Hannah practiced "swimming" by walking with her hands and letting her legs float.  Steve did most of the sandcastle building, but the girls definitely helped in destroying it.  Unfortunately, my camera battery died. :(  We'll have to go back to get pictures.  This is from my cell phone:
