There She Goes

Blair was 16 months old on Friday.  She started to really walk on Monday.  I got this picture as she toddled out of the kitchen before church this morning.    

Beech Bend

We had a church outing at Beech Bend Water Park in Bowling Green, KY today.  Blake had a blast.  They had a wonderful area for toddlers, but he really loved the big slides which he could ride with us.  We rode some rides and played putt-putt after lunch.  Putt-putt was a little iffy.  Scott really didn't get to play, just help Blake, which was fine.  He showed him how to hold the putter and where to put his feet.  Blake even made a hole in one (with a little help from dad)!

New Car

Blake is now driving thanks to Aunt Becky!  She got him a battery powered bumper car for his birthday.  He loves it.  

Marley

Blake and Blair got a chance to play with their cousin Marley while we were visiting my parents.  She is such a cutie!  They had a lot of fun.  

Playground

The kids and I spent the week with my parents.  The weather was really nice and we got to do a lot of playing outside and visiting with family.  We took Blake to the playground.  He also got to go to Bays Mountain with his Nana.  

Dollywood

If you are thinking of going to Dollywood then this is the summer to go.  The crowd was very light and according to the staff, attendance is down overall.  Blake was pretty worn out by Sunday the kids left with my parents and Scott's mom around 2:00.  Scott and I stayed and rode some of the bigger rides.  We didn't have to wait in a single line.   

Aquarium & The Track

We went to Gatlinburg last weekend.  Saturday we took the kids to the aquarium.  It was really neat, well worth the time.  Then we went to The Track.  Blake and Scott rode a go cart and Blake rode several of the kiddie rides they had there.  We went back the to condo and went swimming.  Blake kicked across the pool holding onto a small float.  My parents came for dinner and the boys went for a drive.  They saw two bears, two bear cubs and deer.  

Watermelon

Blake has been asking for watermelon so we bought one at the Farmer's Market.  We spent the afternoon playing in the "pool" and water table.  The playing consisted of Blake dumping buckets of water on Scott and me.  We got out the watermelon and as you can see he enjoyed it.  Blair did too.
