Weekend Adventures

Let me update you on what's been happening with us and our many adventures. (Long time, no pics or updates--sorry.) So, we're still trying to sell our house. We've had a few interested buyers, and last weekend, we had two showings. It's looking good, I think. Brendan and I can't wait to make the move-- one step at a time :).



































Garrett is big, little man with lots of energy and spunk. He's saying more words and many more sounds. He takes a real interest in animal sounds and other sound fx-- he can moo, meow, bark, cock-a-doodle-doo, neigh, baa, hoo hoo, hiss, etc. Garrett is still a little book worm. He's recently had a big thing for Thomas the Tank Engine books and books with lots of pictures of different things (such as, The Golden Book of Science). The top 10 for Garrett: Thomas, trucks/cars, animals, airplanes, Elmo, bubbles, books, The Wiggles, new places, and horse play.















Garrett loves the outdoors. He loves playing in the grass, walks, bike rides, and nature, in general. Outdoor playtime is pretty much a must, rainy days are the worst. Over the past month we've been on several hikes and bike rides. Fortunately, our exercise equals thrills for Garrett.



















On recent hikes, we've let Garrett do a bit of walking. He loved it! He thought he was the king of the trail. Garrett would alternate between going as fast as he could and stopping to examine rocks or plants.




























Last weekend we went to the Piedmont Earth Day Fair. Garrett particularly enjoyed seeing the snakes and owl, from the wildlife preserve booth. Later we grilled out with our good friend Neil. On Sunday, we went to the NC Zoo. We had a great time. Garrett loved all the animals. A polar bear swam right up to the glass in front of Garrett; he was very impressed. Sometime this weekend, I'll post video from our zoo trip :).
