Lulu came to visit back in July and here are the pictures two months later. I still have a few posts to catch up on from July and August. We've been having lots of computer issues. We lost a disk and all of our data went with it, so we had to restore about 500GB (mostly photos, movies, and music). It's taken a lot longer to recover than we would like, so we've added an extra layer of redundancy. It's also probably time to upgrade our nine year old Mac tower. We had plenty of outages all summer that would take it offline for a day or two here and there and that has just been plain annoying.
Ben in his Winnie the Pooh overalls. We took him to see his first movie ... Winnie the Pooh, of course. It was a very short movie so it was a good one to see if he's ready to go to the movies with us yet. He is not. Five or ten minutes into the movie he said, "I want to go home and see Daddy." He'd watch the movie for five minutes and then want to go home for five minutes. Back and forth like that the whole time. He got enough of the movie to be very interested in Pooh and the Backson though.
We were in the middle of 80 or so straight days over 100 degrees back in July and the boys were sick of being inside so Lulu pulled out the colored bubbles. It was an immediate uber-mess so out came the hoses.
What could be more fun?
Ben was ready for a wash-down.
I think his diaper absorbed 5 lbs of water. He was convinced he had poop in there.
Switched to a swimmie diaper ... now we are ready for some serious hose action.
Sam discovered the joys of shooting his brother with a water gun.
Homemade water slide.
I kept the boys home from school that Monday because we wanted to go check out the new Sea Life Aquarium. I didn't realize that it had just opened two weeks earlier and that it was sold out for weeks. A lot of the other indoor stuff for kids around town is closed on Mondays, so we ended up at Amazing Jakes.
There were unlimited rides on the carousel and train.
But Ben was too small for the bumper cars and go carts.
Put-put golf was hilarious.
Here they are trying to get their balls back after the last hole.
Just outside of Amazing Jakes is Spiderwalk Entertainment ... trampolines and harnesses. The boys saw the other kids jumping and could not wait to do it. Ben was ok until they started strapping him into the harness. He wanted the harness off, off, off ... until he started jumping ... and then he forgot all about it.
Sam had a blast. Chris went to work that day, but met us there for lunch. Now Sam is convinced that Chris and I meet for lunch at Amazing Jakes every week and he wants to know when he can go with us again!
