moving the blog

Hi! Just wanted to let you all know that Blogger changed their interface and it's just not working for us. We will send an email soon about where you can find pictures!

Campin'

We took Henry camping for the first time this weekend! We had a great time with our friends and Henry is excited to go camping again with 'we-oo' and 'mag-an'.

We took a walk up to Palisade Falls yesterday. He wanted to ride in the backpack on the way up, then run downhill all on his own. That was a bit scary to watch! Henry is yelling, "Come on!" to Joe in the top picture. He was really excited to the see the waterfall and wanted to get closer. We stopped at the reservoir on the way out so Henry could throw rocks in the water. It's one of his favorite pastimes. 

I think it's safe to say summer has arrived! We had about two weeks of spring this year.

Henry likes running. Yesterday, his teacher told me that him and another little boy were doing sprints in the play yard. 

 He also likes helping in the yard so we bought some small tools.

Spring or Summer?

We've had a couple if weeks of great warm weather, with a few days in the low 80's. Henry has taken full advantage and has been outside as much as possible.

I've (joe) been taking him to school in the bike trailer too, which he loves. Here Henry is ready for school lunchbox and sippy cup in hand.

Egg Hunt

It was a very cold morning so we bundled Henry up and sent him out to find some eggs.

Biker

Henry rode his bike outside for the first time yesterday! He did really well. Check it out!


PS - Yesterday it was 72 and glorious. Today it's 42 and sleeting.

Spring has Sprung

We did a big family bike ride to Bozeman beach today. There is a section of trail that has been closed for two years as a freeway bridge was being replaced. With the exception of a short street section we can ride the 5 miles there completely on the trail system. Here is Henry at the 'beach'

Spring time

Spring time is here already. Henry likes to walk down the back hill while wearing his monkey backpack. He likes crawling around in the grass too?! I don't get it. I just chalk it up to "boy fun".

Just hanging out in the park!

A six month shoulder season

This hasn't been much of a winter. We haven't had much snow to sled on and the dry frozen ground isn't much fun for playing on. This is about as deep as the snow ever got. Notice the grass poking through everywhere!

Finding fun, age appropriate, indoor activities has been quite challenging. Burying Henry under the blocks is his fave!

You can see finger painting was a messy hit! Yes, those are garbage cans on top of our counter. Henry loves to throw stuff away, so we have to keep all the trash bins out of reach.
