Keeping a 2yr old stationary on the beach....

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is a pool with sand and water in it, on the beach! In order to keep Parker from running up and down the beach, Nana bought him a pool and put some water and sand in it. It has kept him occupied for hours! Who would have thought, a pool on the beach! Forget the ocean, waves and seashells, we have made our own salt water pool!

The kitchen sink...

Everyday it amazes me the things that Parker finds interesting enough to want to play with - the broom and dust pan, the attachments to the vacuum, flashlights, the list goes on and on (toys, what toys?? I dont even know why we waste our money on toys)...But his latest fascination is the kitchen sink...He will play for hours with the water, cups and occasionally, the dish soap! Notice the big red bucket in the sink, yeah, he toted that in from the garage..The sink is the first thing he runs to in the morning and the last thing he wants to play with at night. It's too funny but not helping the water bill at all! Can't wait to see what next month's bill is...I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful weather!

July 4th - more zoo pics

Happy 4th!

With the weather being as nice as it has been in K-ville, 83 was the high yesterday, we decide to take Parker to the zoo. P started out in the stroller but as soon as we got to the first exhibit, he wanted out and then it was 90 to nothing! He was off like a shot and basically ran for the next hour. But he did stop to enjoy a few of the animals, the pigs were by far his favorite as was the slide on the playground! He also like the petting zoo and the elephants. We would love to take him to see the fireworks tonight but they don't start until 9:30! Way past Parker's bedtime, oh well, I guess there is always next year! Happy 4th!!
