I took the boys out to Larned for a few days at the end of May. We rested up and enjoyed the cooler temps (70 degrees in May?!?!)!
I mowed and Davis really wanted to help me. Sooooo....I mowed a quarter of the yard this way. It was a good workout. lol
I love these pictures. My Grandpa Young used to sell John Deere tractors. It'll be fun to take their pictures in some tractor wheels as they grow. Cal will have to start standing beside them, as he won't fit inside of them much longer!
We went exploring in the countryside.
Cal is really into sports! Dad was giving him pointers on how to bat and it gave me flashbacks to when he used to do the same to me. Pretty cool....
I went for a run the next morning, which was so peaceful. Until I came across THIS:
A DEAD TARANTULA?!?!?!?!
After I ran past that disgusting find, the serenity of my run continued. I love it out there....
The boys and I went up to Dad's office at the Court House. They loved playing around in the courtroom!
Davis REALLY enjoyed hitting things with the gavel. A little too much....
Exploring the storage rooms....
Sitting in Papa's BIG chair.
We can't go to Larned without visiting the Splash Pad! This place is awesome.
We dried off and went home....only to eat and nap....and then returned to the park/Splash Pad. :)
I took the boys to the Y when we returned to Wichita. These boys are waterbugs....especially Davis. He is almost fearless in the water!
Typical. One is smiling and the other is sprinting away...
I took the boys to Cal's field trip to Cow Town that week. Cal's classmates were SO excited to see him!!! It was like he was a celebrity....lots of hugs and yelling.
His classmates are so sweet to Davis. They include him any time he's around. This day was no differently.....he sat right between the girls. :)
While the kiddos "washed clothes",....
.....Davis chased a cat around the yard.
They put him to work!
Cal and his bff at school, Michael, are so fun together!
This picture cracks me up!! He looks like he's going to beat somebody up. haha
After naps, we played in the sprinkler and popped bubbles.
Baba Belle arrived later that night! The boys spent a lot of time outside playing with her!
This was his "bullfrog face".
The boys enjoyed watching nature shows on Baba's iPad. Davis loved the lions!
It was so sweet watching them paint together!
We drove by Mitch's office downtown. I proceeded to get lost for the next 20 minutes until we found the library. I have a faulty sense of direction....
The big library downtown is so nice. We will definitely be venturing back!
After naps, we took the boys swimming and then stopped for some delicious sno-cones!
We snapped a few photos before Baba flew out on Tuesday morning. The boys and I were headed to Tanganikya on another field trip. Cal....that face!!!
These baby ducklings and their mama ate right out of our hands. I know we saw more exotic animals that day, but it was fun petting some sweet baby ducklings.
Snake!
D loved feeding the fish...
...and I loved feeding the ducks. :)
Cal fed the giraffe. What a beautiful creature!
Davis's turn!
It was soooo hot by this point. The teachers actually cut the trip short (hallelujah) and we headed home early.
The boys were ready to leave. lol
We headed home and got ready to nap. Typical day in the Walter household....
I was leaving for Texas with my mom and dad later that night, so I was painting my nails. Cal insisted that I paint his also. I agreed to paint one hand, but not both. I've got standards. lol
Davis wanted one nail painted.
