At the Playground

Sliding Is Fun

Climbing Up and Down

Waving to Mommy

Peek-A-Boo

I took the camera to the playground today to capture this little monkey in action.  Luke's favorite thing to do is climb up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down the stairs.  He also likes to slide, but today they were hot so he didn't do very much of that!

It stormed yesterday afternoon and the thunder woke Luke early from his nap.  When he saw that it was raining, he insisted on going outside.  And why wear clothes when they are just going to get wet?  Look at that smile - Luke sure enjoyed playing in the rain!

Program-Palooza

Today, Luke and I went to Kennesaw Parks and Recreation Program-Palooza.  It was a chance for us to see what other classes Luke might enjoy in addition to his gymnastics.  It was very hot, but we visited the different booths and even took a music class.  Kristin, Chad, Caleb and Colby were there too.  It was loads of fun and we even had some special yummy things to eat!

Luke loves Krispy Kreme (so does Mommy)

Getting ready to play the drums

Hugging Bye

It was really hot - Luke knows to stay hydrated!

Luke didn't want any help - "do it self"

Flip

Here's a trick Luke learned last week at gymnastics:

What a little acrobat!

Fireworks!!!

We enjoyed a great fireworks display (which we suspect is the primary use of our homeowners' dues) on Sunday night.  Ms Christy, Mr Keith, Lauren and Anna came over to watch them with us.  I think Luke may have been a little confused when they were at his house, since he usually goes to theirs!

4th of July

We were busy this past weekend.  First things first, Luke had to be clean-shaven.

Then, Luke and I watched the Marietta 4th of July parade (Luke's 2nd, my first).  Luke wanted to join the parade when he saw this car:

This is the 2nd year Damien and Joe Kirby, his co-author of Marietta: Then and Now, have participated.   We had a great spot right near the start of the route.

That afternoon, we went to the Knox/Chandler 4th of July picnic.  We ate lots of yummy food and enjoyed visiting with everybody.

Luke and Anna raced to the hammock to relax with Lauren after dinner!

Savannah

Luke and I spent 5 days in Savannah recently. While we did lots of fun things, I predictably forgot my camera for most of them. We went swimming at the YMCA with Grammy and Grampa one morning. On Saturday, Anna and Josh met us at the beach. Luke waded in the ocean and then chilled on his towel under the umbrella.  Luke and Grammy also enjoyed singing and playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on the piano.

Our last day there we had a picnic brunch at Forsythe Park. Playing in the fountain served as pre-meal entertainment, then Luke and Anna played on the playground afterwards.
