Hiking

Grayson decided to sit out the September camping trip,
so Jeff and I spent a weekend at William Heise by ourselves.

We had a chance to go on a few great hikes,
something we haven't done since Grayson was born.

Along the way, we ran across this little kingsnake.
We admired his spunk, especially since he was only a few inches long.

It's Potty Time

Cole is always eager to do what his big brother does. He seemed interested in using the potty too, so we picked him up this froggy potty. He has the sitting and reading thing down, now we just have to be patient.

Fire Station

Our Mom's Club had a chance to take a tour of a local fire station.
Cole wasted no time making friends with the firemen.

He had a chance to use the fire hose,

check out the equipment,

and even sit behind the wheel.
Hopefully he had a chance to see that "sirens safe", as he always repeats whenever he hears one passing by.

Pine Tree Park

It may be a gloomy morning in the park but the boys smiles are as bright as ever. Cole never seems to grow tired of going back and forth over this odd looking dinosaur.

Grayson prefers to "ride the wild turtle". Ride 'em turtle boy!
