Bike Rodeo

Saturday Mom & I rode our bikes to St. Mary's Hospital (a few blocks from our house). No, I wasn't going to the E.R. They had a "bike rodeo" in the parking lot. I completed an obstacle course and learned the proper signals for turning (which I will never use again). And in return earned a new helmet & t-shirt!
Afterwards we toured a firetruck, the dental mobile, met the search & rescue dogs, had a clown paint a spider on my face and climbed around on a lot of inflatable things.

My best bud Jake was there with his family and the two of us can always find some mischief!

The Weekend Report

Ethan got to stay up WAY past his bedtime Saturday night! We went to the drive-in theater to see Underdog & Ratatouille. Ethan didn't quite understand the concept of watching a movie outside.

We popped our own popcorn and Ethan has now learned which button you push on the microwave. He likes to stand a little too close.

Once we arrived and he grasped the concept he only asked about 30 times when the movie would start. Suprisingly he stayed awake for both movies and talked all the way home! He was pretty excited and we'll have to go back again.

The Week Before School Starts

There was no summer camp this past week because school starts tomorrow. I spent time with Mom and Mama Terry doing different things. The usual...errands, shopping, the library, bike rides, etc....

My favorite was swimming all day on Thursday with Mom. It was 100 degrees & really hot!!! The water was warm, but it still felt good. I practiced going under water and holding my breath. This is my new "SuperMan Dive."

Spiked Hair

What is it with this time of year and Ethan wanting to spike his hair up? This all started years ago with Dude (Uncle Layne) showing him how. Once again he's sporting his cool look.
I may be a bit biased as his mother, but I'm pretty sure he's too cute!

Remember my spiked hair last year???

Cool New Game

I got this basketball game for my birthday from a friend. Mom likes it because by a miracle it requires NO BATTERIES! Dad likes it because he can beat Mom. I like it because I can play by myself or against Mom and Dad.

This weekend we had a tournament in our house by taking turns playing each other. One person started as the "ref" and then would play the winner of the game and we just kept going in that rotation for a long time Friday night.

Add some pizza, Shark week and some popcorn and it was a good time!
