Water Days

This was our first year to try parks and rec water day at Scheid Park. Emma Claire desperately wanted to go, so we fought the crowd and managed one ride down the huge tarp and some time at the Puppet Wagon.

Milestone

It happened. Arnold made the great escape from his crib.

He made the leap at almost the exact same age as Emma Claire did. Brad switched the rail out for the toddler bed conversion. Arnold was so excited that he was able to freely climb in and out of his "big boy bed". Emma Claire was every bit as thrilled for him.

For this milestone, I am SO happy to have the Arnold cam. It is better than TV. The first night he slept it it, we watched him crawl in and out, play in his room, flip the light switch on and off and crawl under the bed over and over again.

Emma Claire even spend a couple of nights in Arnold's bed with him. They giggled, played (in and out of the bed), cuddled and eventually fell sound asleep.

Time Capsule

We went as a family to the 125th Anniversary Time Capsule Ceremony. We rode our bikes to City Hall, snapped a photo by the time capsule and grabbed a program (Arnold wasn't much into the ceremony, so we made a quick exit).

We hope to be there as a family when the capsule is opened in 25 years!

Fourth of July 2012

This was one hot Fourth of July for us. Record temperatures here, with a high in excess of 100.

Emma Claire and I made Rowie's famous pimento cheese (it wouldn't be the Fourth without that!)

We had plans to watch the Delano parade, but decided not to brave the heat. We, instead, spent the afternoon at Kevin Carver's pool party. Emma Claire hardly left the water and Brad had a good showing in the cannon ball contest.

After supper, we loaded Emma Claire and Arnold in the Burley and biked over to Aquila Park for fireworks. It was well worth the effort and the late night. Everyone enjoyed the show. Arnold said "whoa" after most every firework.
