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.

Filling in some big shoes

A little fun before bedtime tonight... he's getting pretty good at walking around in big shoes.

A weekend with grandma and grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa came this past weekend and they took Brian to the New York Museum of Transportation. They rode in a real train and Brian got to sit in a vintage fire truck.

Thinking outside the box

Pardon the bad pun. Brian playing with a few boxes that came today.

He put his xylophone dog in it and called it a cage, saying, "See you later, dog!" as he closed the lid...

Summer's here, finally!

Mom brought out the sprinkler ball for the first time today, since this is really the first time it's been really warm.

Distracted by a leaf, but going to "get it wet"

Number 2!

Less blog posts because Dad's back to his regular job, but Brian had a great second birthday party. Mom made a delicious carrot cake with little Sesame Street characters on top of it :o)
