summer fun
I know, I know we've been MIA for some time and I have been HORRIBLE about posting anything on here - it's just that we have been super busy getting out in about and enjoying the summer weather and some fun activities this year! :)
Now that Tyler is another year older is a lot easier bringing him places and being able to do fun things. We have been taking advantage of the warm weather and any free time spending time at the beach, the park - pretty much outside as much as possible. In addition to outdoor fun, Tyler got to have a couple VERY successful FIRSTS this summer.
1) First Trip to the Races! I'm not gonna lie, I was worried. I went completely prepared - snacks, drinks, blankets, sweatshirts, and of course head phones. All for what? NOTHING. He LOVED it! He did want to go home as soon as Allen's race was over (actually before that) - but it had already been a long full schedule weekend so I am sure he was EXHAUSTED. Every Saturday since I ask: "Tyler, what do you want to do tonight?" Tyler: "Go to the track and watch Daddy RACE!". And thus, I fear, a driver is born.
2) First Camping Trip! What a blast this was - rain and all it really was. Again I was nervous about it but also again for nothing. We were at Pine Lake and our first day up pretty much just got situated, relaxed and had a good time. Tyler did get to have his first boat ride with Grampa Borchers, Daddy and Uncle Drew and later make "hamburger cookies" with Gramma. I didn't even have to ask when he was ready for bed as he came up to me about 9:30 and says "Mom, I want to go to sleep". You got it kiddo! The next day we visited the Flea Roast and Ox Market and Tyler had a blast on all the carnival rides. That was also the night the storm came :( By Sunday - I think we were ALL ready for the comforts of home. I can't wait to do it all again!
Tyler is in a lot of those "two year old" phases. Asking why, working on potty training, testing Mommy and Daddy - and boy is it EXHAUSTING. I keep telling my self "this too shall pass" and I just keep hoping it passes sooner than later..
I have some recent pictures I will get posted this weekend and hopefully things will slow down and I can post more frequently! :) As, always, THANKS FOR VISITING!
