Fun Times

We had quite the busy weekend, trying to have some fun but at the same time trying to get things done before Gary leaves. We are trying to dig up the posts from the fence that blew down so that I can put up another fence while Gary is gone. It was a bit of a challenge, especially with Josh thinking that he needs to crawl into the holes and play in the dirt.
We intended to take Josh to the zoo Saturday, but ended up having too much to do and it didn't work out. Instead we took him to Salem Pond to feed the ducks. They aren't as much fun as the ducks at Flowserve, but Josh thought it was funny to feed them and giggled. We took him to the park by the pond and let him try out the swing and slide.
Josh loves to bite his dad's nose. He doesn't usually bite anyone else's nose, but loves to bit his dad's.
This is what happens when we turn our heads for a few minutes. We left the pantry door open and Josh took advantage of the opportunity. He took the animal crackers off the bottom shelf, dumped them on the floor, and helped himself. I found him with his mouth completely stuffed full and crackers in both hands.
Gary leaves Thursday (May 3) for his annual training in Boise. He will be in Boise for two weeks and then Camp Williams for one week. Then he will be home for a week and a half before he starts his active duty time on June 4.

Josh is such a cutie! I love the picture of him helping himself to the cookies and biting Gary's nose.

I hope Gary is doing well in training, and you and Josh are keeping each other company. We'll have to get together soon if you have time. Maybe we could take the kids to the zoo - were you going to go to Hogle Zoo?
