This kid finished preschool! He had a great year and I can really see a difference in a lot of his social skills and his ability to express himself. He's even reading basic sight words already, which was more than I expected. I'm so glad that his first year of school was a good experience for him and that he is looking forward to Kindergarten next year.
He wanted to be silly, so here he is!
Father's day weekend brought with it the airshow. We really enjoy going down there to watch, but this year it was really hot and we had a crawling baby, so we cut it a little short. We also didn't get many pictures because of the chasing around we were doing, but it was fun to go down for a little bit and hang out with our friends, the Marlatts.
This kid decided that he wanted to start practicing walking. He loved pushing this lion around and walking with it. It was so fun to hear him giggle with delight as he pushed it in front of himself.
We met Kelly, Anderson and a few other friends down at the Hands on Children's Museum to splash in the river. It was kind of chilly so I was a little surprised at how well Ashton did. But he loved it, in true water baby fashion!
He especially loved this little fountain that bubbled up every once in awhile.
The boys had a great time. They spend most of their time all the way down at the very end (they are the orange shirts you can barely see down there), so I didn't get any good pictures of them.
Ashton waiting on that fountain!
There it is!!
He LOVED playing in it.
The next week we had another really hot day, so we went with Kelly and Anderson to a new splash park for us. The boys really had a good time, and especially loved the train tracks nearby because they got to watch a train drive by at a close distance!
Carter doesn't love being splashed, so he spent a lot of time on this pirate ship.
Ashton wished I would let him splash more, on the other hand. So he enjoyed every minute of this rock fountain.
The boys ended up getting into a water fight with some of the other kiddos at the park. They were all getting their "ammo" here at this water ladder.
A view of the whole water park...
...and the attached playground on the other side.
The splash pads up in Tacoma are one of our favorite ways to cool down on our hot days during the summer. So glad that Kelly invited us to check out a new one to cool off at!
