Hooray for Nice Weather!

We took advantage of the warm temps today to play in the back "yard." Alex rode his Scoot-About and played with his new sidewalk chalk. (The one perk of having a concrete yard, I suppose.) He also has become fascinated with opening the back garage door and can even raise it high enough to get inside. Later in the day, we had a great outing at the zoo, where we saw lots of animals and learned that Alex can say "bear" and "turtle."

Following in Daddy's Footsteps

This weekend Alex learned about playing bass and disc golf. He's going to be a little Dave!

Stormy Seas

Dave and Alex came up with a new game to play with the pool and ball pit. It's called stormy seas and takes Alex on a wild ride over rough "waters." Not surprisingly, he loves it. It was even better when he wasn't paying attention to the camera because he knew he was being filmed, but this gives you a good idea of the fun and mayhem going on at our house these days.

More Florida fun

Because you can never get enough fun in the sun (especially this time of year), here are some more pics from our Florida trip, courtesy of the real photographer in the family, Grandpa D. The bird Alex is chasing came really close to us where we were playing in the sand, and he was so excited that he followed the bird all the way to the water.

Sunny Florida!

We had a great trip to Florida to visit Grandma and Grandpa D. Alex loved the beach, being able to go without shoes, and the new park where Grandma and Grandpa live. Plus, he did pretty well on the plane rides (his first flights).

Three Boys in a Box

Alex's cardboard box clubhouse got a real workout this weekend. You can actually fit three kids inside, and even better if you turn it over it can be a slide. We had no idea, but Alex's friends Rafi and Sam showed him how. We had been thinking of getting him a climber/slide to help burn energy during the winter months, but who knew that we already had one in our house?!

A New Perspective

We had to do some repair work on the coffee table, which necessitated turning it on its side. Alex was quite interested in what was happening and was especially excited when he figured out that he could walk through the "tunnel" created by the tabletop and the shelf underneath.
