More MN

Evan's new favorite thing is to run around in Grandma & Grandpa's backyard in the wonderous and luscoius GRASS. Hitherto unknown by our Arizona dwelling son.
At Great Grandma Frank's house, we walked to the neighbor's to see the cows. Strange things can occur in a field of female cows. FYI.
On Monday, we went to story time at Wild Rumpus and Evan got to use the Kid Door. Mom & Aunt Sara used it, too.


Wild Rumpus has all sorts of animals there to see. Cats, chickens, lizards, oh my!
After story time, we went "swimming" in the back yard.
Blowing bubbles.

Minnesota

We made it to MN (barely!) Friday evening. Let's just say that Brian and I are more than relieved to have a couple weeks here to recover from the plane trip!!

More of Brian's Art

Evan is actually upside down in this one but we figured we would save your neck the trouble.
Evan's version of Uncle Andrew's Rag Art. Maybe Yiddo and the Boyz can add a freestyle dance element to the show?

Settling down before bed with his favorite color book from Aunt Lisa & Uncle Evan.
"I LOVE THIS BOOK!"
He's still got the cheeks. These ones he got from his mama. The other set he got from his daddy.

Guess what we had for dinner?

McDowell Mountain Aquatic Center

This morning we had music class and then after a nap, we headed to the McDowell Mountain Ranch Aquatic Center to meet up with Aiden & Jett.
This is the cool cactus mirage that is on the outside of the two story water slide.
The lazy river. It is much more exciting than this picture (which I lifted from the web site). It has waterfalls that pour out on you and buckets that fill up with water that dump out on you. There are also about 75 teenagers in there with you. For obvious reasons, there are no photos of us experiencing any of that stuff.
The beach entry pool. Evan would run full speed up to the entry point and then slam on the brakes and stand in about 2 inches of water. He warmed up to it after a bit and went in about 2 feet.
Splashing at the splash pad.
All that water stuff to do and Evan decided to climb these stairs about 25 times. Super fun for me to chase him up and down in my bathing suit in front of 150 people!
Aiden hiding out.
The "fountain" at the beach entry pool.

The reason there are not more pictures of Evan is that it would have required me to get more than arm's length away from him. Not such a good idea around so much water. Especially after he tried (unsuccessfully, phew!) to jump into the 5 foot deep lap pool.

Brian's New Toy

Inspired by Evan & Lisa's fancy camera, Brian went out this weekend (Best Buy, of course!) and purchased a new camera to better document the tornado that is little Evan.
Please enjoy a bit of Brian's artistry....

Second Hair Cut




Taaa Daaaa!
His hair is still a bit wet in this picture, it isn't THAT short.
