We have had a lot of rain here in recent weeks. After one such rainfall, JB was the only one I could convince to find a rain puddle with me. The boys, Gabby and I had ridden bikes to McD's for ice cream, then headed to the park. After the park, the others went home and JB and I found a huge puddle on Main Street. Oh the looks we got, but how much fun we had. One lady even offered to have us stand on the curb so she could drive her car by us. Unfortunately, she did not get us too wet...JB would have loved that.
I did not get a lot of pictures, because I was afraid my camera would get wet. However, he spent about 30 minutes riding his bike through this puddle. He would even lay down at times, he would bend over and put his head in the water. I even put my stuff down and we raced through the puddle many times. It was well over my shoes. We were both sopping wet when we left!
We had some more water fun at our house. One day JR took Jbird to work with him. So, B, JB and I left this at the front door for them when they got home.
I think I was the first one they found. We certainly had the upper hand and could strategically hide so that we had the first line of fire.
I am amazed at how much fun the boys can create for themselves. He is just the right size for this homemade cage/contraption.
We are enjoying lots of smoothies this summer. It seems that any time I make one for myself, this little guy grabs an extra straw.
The public library has some great programs during the summer. This was one called 'Believe it or Not, It is Science". This fellow mesmerized all the kids. There were probably over 100 in the room and you could hear a pin drop. I even learned that a unopened soda can will sink, but an unopened diet soda can will float. The reason, the sugar. A bowling ball will float, sure never thought about that one before.
Here the scientist was teaching about center of gravity and he balanced a bird on Jbird's nose.
That is a peak into the last week or so around here.
