A day at the park, dog park!

We decided that Bourbon was long over due for a trip to the dog park.  After being left home for over a week, with good company (Thank you Bolins and Jesse for staying with our needy puppy dog), we thought he could use a hour or so going some place fun.  After church and lunch, we gathered everyone up and headed over to Squirrel Ridge Dog Park.  We use to take Bourbon there all the time when we lived on that side of town but since we moved and Landon has been born Bourbon has not been back. 

Bourbon had a blast and all the dogs were well behaved.  Landon thought all the dogs were great!  About half way through Landon saw the playground and since I was a little worried about a playful dog barreling me over I thought we should head over to play while Josh stayed with Bourbon. 
Landon and I had fun exploring the playground.  Our favorite was the swings.

At the end of our trip everyone had fun and was tired.  It made for a nice family nap afternoon. 

A wrap up of August

 A week with playmates!


Kayla and Zach came over for the week, while their parents were having a much needed get away (Mike was gone out of the country for 6 months!).  Landon loved having them over.  We had lots of fun playing with cars, make believe, art projects and lots more fun.  Thanks guys for coming over and playing!

Watching the BIG fish tank

Zach helped Josh fix the truck

Landon was more interested in filling his truck with sand and rocks

Sally also stayed a couple weeks with us between apartment leases, Reesie loved Sally's things

Kayla is so great with the boys... reading books

I think the kids tired out Chang

Bike rides!
  Sincethe weather cooled down a little (surprisingly for August in Florida)  and before my belly gets too big to ride the family enjoyed a couple of bike rides together. Bourbon even came on one or two!

Nap Time

A Sunday favorite for the boys in the house.

Girls Night Out

Sally and I joined a couple of girls from our youth group for a girls night.  There weren't a lot of us but we still had fun eating dessert, playing card games and talking.  I only wish I had more time to hang out with all the girls, I really do love spending time with them.

 Rain, Rain, come and stay!

Landon loves the rain!  In Florida there aren't too many rain showers, but when there are I try to let him out to play in the rain.  This particular day the rain was freezing, I don't know what is up with the weather this summer in Florida.

The Swamp!
A day out at the mall playground which Landon loves!

Touch a Truck Day!

At the fairgrounds they had a day event called Touch a Truck Day.  Since Landon loves trucks and our friends Ashley, Matt, Noah, Jen and Even were also going we took Landon.  He had a lot of fun but we didn't stay long.  It was a typical August Florida summer day and there was no cover from the sun.  Landon did get a couple of coloring books, with trucks in them of course, a free bike helmet, and a couple of other souvenirs.

Landon Loves trucks!

Look at me, Mom!

 Concert Time
 Landon went with Josh to a concert held at Harvest.  Since they both love music they had lots of fun and Mom had a great night of relaxing at home!
