Rehoboth Beach on Wednesday

Giving sand to PaPa was the other fun thing to do after chasing and scooping wet sand.

We picked rocks and shells too.

"Sugar dirt"

Cape Henlopen 2

The shirt came off but the sand kept squishing through his hands.

Brian and PaPa chasing each other on the beach.

Stopping to take a rest. A beautiful afternoon.

More chasing!

Cape Henlopen State Park on Tuesday

Brian enjoyed picking up globs of wet sand whenever he went to the beach. Tuesday afternoon we went to Cape Henlopen State Park.

The tide was high and the beach leveled off pretty well, creating a very shallow pool for Brian to run through.

More sand squishing through his hands. Too busy to look at the camera of course.

Monday at Rehoboth Beach

We went down to the beach on Monday, played in the waves, played in the sand.

Here we are playing trucks in the sand.

NY State Fair III

Ice cream at 4-ish - he's already pretty tired at this point. No more emotion in those eyes.

Asleep by five, without a stroller. A bit awkward for Monica but she managed!

NY State Fair II

Brian at the Lego pile in the 4-H building. He'll start his own collection soon.

In an amphibious military vehicle of sorts - one of the highlights of his day.

Petting the baby pony of the "Milk Buds" team

On a John Deere tractor. Another highlight.

NY State Fair I

Today we went to the New York State Fair in Syracuse. There were police horses. Brian got to pet one.

The dairy-go-round was a bit sedate as fair rides go. You get what you pay for, right? (This one was free!)

Sweet potato fries made lunch. Boy did the money fly today!

In the sheep and goats pavilion.

Tinker Nature Park

Tinker is just around the corner from our house, we went on a hike today.
Brian is getting some help on the parallel bars.

Different bars, a lot lower than the other ones.

Shaking the pollen off the wetland grasses.

Playing with antlers from the "bone bin" at the nature center.
