Our Trip to Willow Park Zoo...
Gavin and I took a little trip to Willow Park last week. It was a pretty nice day so we were excited to get out of the house for a little while. We ate lunch, played on the playground and walked around to see the animals. He loved all of the animals, but he especially liked the ducks! It was so cute because he knows quite a few words in sign language and when he would see a duck he would get a big smile on his face and do the sign for 'duck'. He was so excited. Snowmobile Hill Climbs...
On Saturday Brent, Gavin and I went up to Beaver Mountain to watch the snowmobile hill climbs. It was awesome! It was pretty cold, but then there would be those moments where the wind would stop blowing and the sun would shine to keep us warm for a few minutes! It was a pretty day and we had a good time. One of our neighbors and his family compete, so it was cool to see them in action!
In this picture Gavin is eating a french fry and he loves them! So Brent dipped one in ketchup and he loved it even more!
Here he is reaching for another fry. I think he ate more fries than Brent did!
Brent and Gavin enjoying the action! And yes, Gavin is eating yet another french fry. We'll fatten this kid up one way or another!
Oh yeah, just a little up-date...I started babysitting two mornings a week for a family in our neighborhood. They have seven kids, and I watch the two youngest boys: Brandon is 4 and Braden is 2. I am going to babysit them for 2 months. It has been pretty interesting so far! More than anything I did this because I knew it would be good for Gavin and for me. Right now I am trying to come up with fun activities to keep the 4 year old entertained! Any suggestions?
I also signed Gavin up for swim lessons two nights a week. It is a "Mommy and Me" class where I am in the pool with him. We have only had two lessons but it has been good so far! And Gavin seems to enjoy it. He just loves getting in the water! He has done really well with all of it. Even getting dunked! My only challenge is trying to keep him focused! He gets so distracted with the basketball hoop! I will have to post some pictures later.
Add training for the half-marathon to all of this and my life has become pretty hectic! But it is good for me. Builds character, right? We'll see!
