A Few More Summer Highlights

Toward the end of the summer the kids were really into having their quiet time downstairs. The legos were put to good use on these days.

The arctic.

One of many architectural renderings of our new house, by Addison.

 Nate's stairway to heaven, or Tower of Babel perhaps.

 Leah's tower.


Nate and Addison ran a race in August. Though Bryn and I stayed home and frantically cleaned for a showing, I heard that Leah was a top-notch cheerleader as Dad pushed the stroller. Asa counteracted her efforts by grabbing the front wheel of the stroller from time to time.

The racers. They each took 3rd in their age group. 
 
 The very last day of summer, we visited the airplane museum. It is so close to our house, and it's free! It was fun to spend a half hour looking at planes and helicopters. The kids enjoyed choosing planes to have their picture taken by.

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
