Checking out the butterfly

Every evening we take a walk after dinner. And usually every evening there are these two butterflies that hang out in a particular spot. The other night John thought he'd see if he could get one to land on him. So he stood really still and stuck out his finger. And sure enough, it did. Here is Josiah checking it out. Love his goggles.

Cool butterfly

It's funny how the kids like to play snow in the summer and then swimming in the winter. Here is Abigail ready to brave the cold. She said she didn't need a hat, she had the umbrella.

Story book forest!

A few weeks ago we took the kids to Idlewild/Storybook forest. It was such a great time. We didn't go through the forest last year, but when we did this year it brought back so many memoires of being a kid. It is exactly the same. What a fun time!

Ferris wheel

Originally uploaded by TheReillys
Last year, as soon as we entered Idlewild Abigail's eyes grew wide at the sight of the Ferris Wheel, she really wanted to ride it. But we were planning on doing the water park first. But by the time we got back to the Ferris Wheel the storms were coming and they shut it down. So this year it was the first thing we did. She had a blast and thought it was well worth the wait.

Time for lunch

Floating balls

Originally uploaded by TheReillys
This was a really cool thing inside the forest area. They were tubes that forced air out and made these balls float. Here we have 3 going at once. Very cool!

Look at it go!

Tater sack slide

Originally uploaded by TheReillys
This was a big slide that they slid down on potato sacks. The fun part was the giant cargo net they had to climb to get up there. It was probably over 3 stories tall.

This was a super fun thing. Though Josiah had a hard time the first couple tries, he's got the hang of it here.

Boat race

Originally uploaded by TheReillys
They had these boats that the kids could float across the pool and back. Of course Abigail turned it into a race, but they both did a great job!

Pull that boat!

What a big boy Samuel is getting to be. Here he is sitting big and holding our hands on the train at Idlewild. It was so cute, he held my hand, then he put out his hand and asked to hold Josiah's too.

All tuckered out

Watering..... himself?

Samuel really likes to help water the plants. I think he mistook himself for one here.

Trash man

Originally uploaded by TheReillys
The other day the kids gathered up all sorts of stuff, big and small and played trashman. They then pretended the corner by the couch was the dump.

Where's Samuel

The other day the kids were playing hide and seek. Every time that Abigail would start counting Samuel would drop to the floor, cover his eyes and say, "One, one, one." He's so funny!
