Outdoor Day

My brother and his family invited us to an outdoor day near their home.  There were so many activities and the boys loved getting outside in a little bit cooler weather.

Hunter was so excited to try the archery and was so happy he hit the zombie.

The boys were fascinated with the sand and the moon dough.  We will have to try these again at home soon.
They also had a ton of animals to hold.  The boys jumped right in and loved holding the snakes and bugs.

Hunter went back a few times to hold each of the different snakes.

Cameron was so excited to have a snake necklace.

They also loved getting a chance to shoot the bb guns.

We went canoeing, swam in the lake and loved playing with cousins.  It was such a fun day.

Exotic Birds

We found this great park that had such fun and unique toys.  The boys loved exploring all of the toys and I cannot wait to go back when it's a little cooler with dad to explore more.

The boys are little monkeys and just wanted to climb away.

Then we headed over to bird world to try feeding some of the birds.

The boys were all so excited to see the birds.

Hunter loved feeding the birds and just strolled around the room feeding them all.
The birds were really loud and Cameron did not like the noise.  He cuddled up with mom and fed a couple of birds but mainly just liked watching them.
The birds were amazing and I loved watching the boys with them.

Science Projects

Hunter loves science projects and is always wanting to do more and more projects.  He even loves creating his own projects.

Color spectrum.

Cleaning pennies.

And his favorite baking soda and vinegar geysers.  Then the boys just love playing with the goo.  We have some green goo on the ceiling after this project.
Hunter is always talking about his hypotheses.  I love watching him learn and grow.

Science Center

Spending the morning at the science center is always fantastic. 

The boys love checking out the different exhibits.

Playing in the airplane exhibit.

Lifting themselves up.

Digging in the dirt.  Creating rivers and streams.
It's always an adventure at the science center.

Random Days

We have been having some great simple days with the boys.  I am counting down to when Hunter starts school and enjoying all of the simple days together with these two.

 Playing at the park. 

Each of the boys took turns pushing each other on the swing.

Then they loved cuddling together on the swing.

 Here is the tower we built one afternoon when we were doing some lego math.  Hunter loved measuring how tall everything was against his tower.

We have been loving hitting up story time at the library.
I love spending my days with these two.

Ice Painting

The boys love playing with ice blocks.  We froze a few balloons and had a great time painting the ice. 

We had made colored salt a few days before and loved watching the way the ice changed.

Then the boys had some fun painting on the cement.

What is summer without popsicles?

Love these little guys.

Costumes

Cameron absolutely loves to dress up.  He loves wearing all of our past Halloween costumes and creating costumes of his own.  He is often a parrot, turtle, or lion.

My little Buzz Lightyear.

Here is one of my favorite costumes.  They were going to the moon and he was a giraffe, pirate, king.

The boys love wearing Patrick's old soccer jerseys.  Because they are so big on the boys they like to pretend they are flying squirrels and run around jumping off of the furniture.
Life with these two is always exciting.
