More Of Memorial Day

We went to the beach! And following our grand tradition of always doing things early, we got there at 9:07. Look carefully at the beach in the background.

Simon was VERY hapy to be there- he ran straight to the water and played and played. There were brief breaks to make sand castles and eat.

Simon developed a game where he would jump up and land in a sitting postion in the shallow water- he claimed that this did not hurt. We decided to believe him since he was having so much fun. We also all went out deep and played in the swells. Simon was very brave.

And finally we left at 1:45- check out how crowded the beach had gotten! And this picture was toward the less dense part! It was an amazing day.

It Is Out!

Look what happened mere minutes ago!

Simon is super excited about the tooth fairy coming. So are we- we hope Simon will still sleep because the tooth fairy only comes when you are asleep.

Memorial Day Weekend So Far

Simon was very tired last night and wanted all his friends with him- this is how he fell asleep. Purple guy is Kasoogi, under him is Rhoda the Red Panda, Rhodas tail is around Gloria the Lemur, above her is Owly, and if you look very carefully between Owly and Gloria you can see the smallest part of Star Bears foot.

And we took another wonderful hike this morning. Simon looks very worried in this picture but he loved the hike, we saw all kinds of cool little animals, dragon flies, ants, beetles, frogs, toads, squirrels, and chipmunks. Teatown Lake Reservation is an amazing little nature center where we never fail to have a good time.

Dance Class

We got to watch another of Simon's dance classes. He really enjoys them.

Slingshot Ride Makes A Child Laugh

So I didn't keep you in suspense for very long. Sorry about the buzzing at the start- don't worry, it goes away at launch. Two things you should know; Simon and Mama had just walked out of a short movie at the aquarium because it was too scary. It was clips from Happy Feet. Really. And- Mama cannot wait to do this again- she hasn't asked Simon since she wants to get Will on it. It seems like a great date activity. Anyone willing to babysit?
