Busted Sprinkler

October 22nd, 2011. (3 years, 4 months old.) by ben

Daddy had the job of actually fixing the sprinkler, and he showed me how to do it.

Sometimes dirt falls in the pipe when you get the broken sprinkler out, and the pipe has to be flushed.  I got to be chief pipe flushing monitor…

… er… taster

… er… when does the water stop coming out? … Clear!  Clear!  The pipe is clear!

Of course, there’s nothing like testing the sprinklers after fixing one for an excuse get outside and get wet!

Oh, and we needed to deliver some emergency water to the dry parts of the lawn!

Too bad the weather is getting colder now.  I’ll have to wait until next summer before it is hot enough to play in the sprinklers!


Apple Picking

October 20th, 2011. (3 years, 4 months old.) by ben

We had playgroup at an apple farm recently.  Auntie Linda and Uncle Rick came along to help pick apples and learn about the apple farm.

We got to pick and eat some apples, and see how the apple tree farm works.


Playgroup at Coffey Park

October 9th, 2011. (3 years, 4 months old.) by ben

I recently met with playgroup at the park.  They had some good flowers for pickin’ at the park.  It’s always nice when nobody tells you not to pick the flowers!

After ornamental horticulture practice, it was time for some climbing.  Taylor and Henry were my climbing buddies.

Then it was time for a group swing.  Look at all the Little Monkey’s on big kid swings!


Dinner at Zoey’s

October 8th, 2011. (3 years, 4 months old.) by ben

We went to Zoey’s house for dinner and a swim.  Daddy took me in the pool at Zoey’s neighbor’s house (Ed. Note: thanks Ray and Barbara!).  I really like jumping in from the side when Daddy is there to catch me.

We also went in the small warm pool for a while when the big pool got cold.

After swimming we helped M&D and Zoey’s Mommy do some harvesting and I found a really nice stick to poke the ground with.

I sure like Zoey!

Thanks Zoey (and Zoey’s Mommy and Daddy) for having us over!


Tiago’s Birthday

October 1st, 2011. (3 years, 4 months old.) by ben

Tiago turned three a couple weeks ago, and he had a big birthday party at Party Central!

Daddy and I went down the big slide together like “professionals”.  Boy is that fun!  Although I’m not sure who is having more fun in this picture…

They also had lots of other things to climb on like this ball pit.

The even have a gigantic blow-up chair for the guest of honor.  (And I got to sit in it, too…)

When can I go back, M&D?


Legos with Linda

September 30th, 2011. (3 years, 3 months old.) by ben

I’ve been playing with my Legos a lot lately.  You can build all sorts of things with them!

Auntie Linda is a good helper when it comes to Legos.


Playgroup at Sienna’s

September 29th, 2011. (3 years, 3 months old.) by ben

Hi everyone!  Meet my fellow Little Monkey Sienna!  We had playgroup at her house and she has a house with TWO slides!  How about that?


Attic-ing

September 27th, 2011. (3 years, 3 months old.) by ben

Daddy recently had a project to do in the attic.  And whatever he does, I get to help!

I got to go up way high on the ladder with my goggles and flashlight to check and make sure Daddy was doing the job right.


Howarth Park Fountain

September 13th, 2011. (3 years, 3 months old.) by ben

The fountain is fun to run around in.   Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!


SRMC Picnic

September 3rd, 2011. (3 years, 3 months old.) by ben

We recently went to the Mother’s Club picnic again.

There were lots of things to do.  I started with the bouncy house.

Then it was onto the bubble station:

Then it was time to chase the GIGANTIC BUBBLES from the BUBBLE THING!

And then pop them!

Then there was the “washer thing”.  I’m not really sure what was going on here, but it made lots of noise and was fun to watch.

Then a little wind down on the swing before heading home.

Great Picnic!
