running around after lunch with Daddy

picking flowers for Mommy. this has become a kind of infatuation for Zeke.

he even taught Ian how to pick flowers.



frizzy-haired Mommy

playground by the stables

after the pony ride we went over to the playground next to the stables so the boys could run out some energy before lunch with Daddy and grocery shopping.

i was surprised Zeke could get over to the second monkey bar, then he screamed for me. he's never tried this before.



OCD about putting all the pine needles through the holes.



got down from the slide, then cheered, "yey!" and clapped.

showing Mommy where the slides are

jogging over



he went down this steep slide without me even knowing til he was already sliding.


telling me how it hurt his belly. you can hear his belly squeaking all the way down the slide since he always goes down backwards.

breaking into a run



climbing in to launch into space



Ian's turn

he looks like he's into mischief, doesn't he?




trying another set of monkey bars. he could get over to the second monkey ring, then back to the platform.


Ian in space

trying it again


the boys liked to pretend that little projection at the end of the slide was a horse.

confused about all the rocks on the stairs

pony ride

for our moms meetup this week, we went to some horse stables for pony rides. the boys were so excited about it; Ian even cried when the guy took him off! he just kept saying "horsey, horsey!"
