It's Never Dull

Cooper has been in the habit of reading in his bed at night with his dinosaur flashlight.  So I kept hearing the roaring of the flashlight well past 9 pm, but didn't think anything about it.

J went in to check on him before bed.  He came in our room and said "I'm going to need your help."  Cooper had taken a box of Q-tips and his overnight bag with shampoo, lotion, etc out of his chest and had them in bed with him.  Luckily, he didn't open any of the containers ... this time.  Q-tips were everywhere.

Again, it's never dull.

Children's Museum Fun

We visited our local Children's Museum for Moonbounce Mania.  Yes, I survived.  It does make you question your sanity for taking your kid to events like this, but the smiles on his face were worth it.

Are you tired from all this activity?  I am, but Cooper wasn't.  He is like the Energizer Bunny.

Fishing with Poppa

Styling in my fishing attire.

Why are you holding that thing in front of me?

Well, it must be okay if Poppa is holding it.  Thanks for the fishing lesson.

Happy 4th

We spent an enjoyable and relaxing 4th of July with the family on the water.

We kept our promise from last year, and let him go a little faster on the tube.  I took my first solo ride in several years ... until the tube got the best of me.  Cooper did not like to see me go over.  A little cuddle time helped to make everything okay.

We had a terrific time.  No fireworks again this year.  Maybe we will try for next year.

Water Play

Just kicking back in my crocodile.

He looks like a Slip-N-Slide pro, but looks are deceiving.

 Navigating with Dad.

Here's looking at you at Grammy.

Ready to pull in for the night.  Tomorrow is another day.

Don't Look Now

This kid doesn't sit still.

Which is exactly how we like it.

A kid just being a kid.

And a Mom trying not to have a heart attack as she watches him leap and climb and slide and play and laugh.
