We decided to take Alex to the park today! He had a ton of energy and we wanted him to run it off :) He had a blast, running around and playing with the little kids. He went up and down the slides and climbed up high ladders.
We discoved the State Park on Monte Sano Mountain. It is really pretty out there! The park was huge and the scenery was amazing! If you live in the area, I definitely recommend it!
Here are some pictures from our afternoon at the park:

Park Day
We decided to take advantage of the incredible weather we were having today. Larry, La-La (our cousin Amanda), Alex and I went to play at the park.
It was so busy - you could definitely tell that it had been the first nice day in a LONG time! Since Alex has been attending school, he interacts with other children so much better now - I'm not scare about him plaing with other kids anymore!
First Alex had a little bubble blowing fun with La-La:
After that, we let Alex play on the playground. He really liked riding the "yee-haw" and playing in the sand pit! We are strongly considering getting him a sandbox for the new house...unless someone else wants to get it for him (hint, hint). Here are a few pictures of Alex playing on the plaground:
And finally, our child is showing characteristics of becoming slightly OCD :) (he might get that from his Mama!) The child would not stay out of the sand pit, but he did not like feel of sand in his sandals. He had each one of us stop what we were doing, pulled us down to his level, and sat on our laps until we took off his shoes and bushed the sand out from between his toes. After we all (Larry, Amanda and I), had dusted the sand out of his shoes one time each, we made him to it himself. It was so cute watching him do it...he had such determination. Enjoy the pictres:
We had a great day at the park - and knowing that is probably our last time at the park in Enterprise was slightly bittersweet. Alex, Larry and I have spent many days there - walking around the lage, feeding the ducks and playing on the playground. We were very happy that we got to share the park with Amanda...I know that Alex was so excited that hse was there!

Park Time with Mommy
To get out of the house and give Larry some quiet time to work on his report, I took Alex to the park today! I love spending time with him like this - seeing him run around, laugh and have fun! Days like today make me so happy and so thankful to be his Mommy!
Here are some pictures from our time at the park:

Park...Again!
In an effort to get the kids out of the house and run off some of their energy, we took them to a park in the area. The kids had a blast running around and playing on all the fun stuff!
There are times when I love sitting back and watching our Kyle, Katelyn and Alex play together. Regardless of the way that they act towards each other, I know that deep down they love each other and that is what is important. Knowing that Jenny and I dreamed our kids would play together so long ago and now seeing it in reality is such a great feeling!

TPS and the Park
During Jenny, Kyle and Katelyn's visit to Maryland, we took them back to TPS. Larry discovered that the helicopter on display outside of the school opened up and we thought it would be a great picture opportunity for the boys (and Katelyn). Plus, Kyle had been asking to go back to the place where Larry worked with all the jets and planes!
Here are a few pictures at TPS:
After our visit to TPS, we decided to take the kids to our favorite park (well, actually it is a school playground, but whatever). Kyle absolutely loved it! He thanked me several times for bringing him there - it is so sweet to hear him say that!

Park Time
This afternoon, after Alex woke up from his nap, we went to the park! I know, I know - we were at the park earlier this morning! The weather here was too pretty to not take advantage of it and we love being able to let Alex run off some of his "boy energy". Plus, Larry and I are loving the changing of the leaves - we are so not used to it living in Alabama!

Park...Again!
Since we were having another amazing weather day, we took Alex to the park again. Not only is it great to go outside when the weather is this nice, letting him run around the park is a GREAT way to get rid of some of his little boy energy!
The park that we went to today was a little busier than our normal playground. Alex did pretty good with the other little ones.
His newest things is to stick his tongue out when he is concentrating on something. It is so funny and we don't know who he got it from. You will notice in a lot of the pictures that he has his tongue out :)
Also, tonight for dinner we decided to walk up to the Panera Bread restaurant and pull Alex in his wagon. The trip is about 2.25 miles round trip, so not too bad! We ate outside at one of the little tables and let Alex sit in a chair. He thought he was such a big boy!
I just love this weather we are having right now and I love being able to take advantage of it!

Park
The weather was absolutely incredible today, so we decided to take Alex to the park after naptime. We went to the nearby elementary school playground that we really like.
Since it was Game Day for Alabama (and they WON), Alex was sporting his Alabama hat and Alabama shirt! For those of you that didn't know, Alex used to hate hats. He would not keep it on longer than 2 seconds - it was so disappointing! However, now he loves them and I think he looks super cute in his hats (I know...I'm slightly biased)!
Also, you will notice in the picture that he is carrying around two toys. He had his Shaggy and Chipper Jones figures that he would NOT put down. They would go down the slide with him (or down before him - when he would "push" them down the slide), they went up the slide with him, and on his four-wheeler.
Enjoy the pictures!

Let's Go Fly A Kite...
Larry and I got Alex his first kite a few weeks ago. It was the Justice League characters - Batman and Superman! Because of icky weather and Larry going out of town, today was the first chance we got to fly it! It was absolutely gorgeous outside and just enough of a breeze to really make the kite soar.
It was amazing to both Larry and I that even though Alex had never flown a kite, he was so excited to do it! We told him that we were going to the park and we were going to fly a kite - he kept saying "kite" over and over on the way to the park and then once we got there.
Larry quickly got it set up and before long, Alex was flying his kite! He LOVED it! It was so neat to be able to experience another "first" with Alex. Larry and I love being able to see the world and new things through his eyes. I have flown many kites in my life, but I never had as much fun as I did today!
I took a BUNCH of pictures from the day! I know there are a lot, but I couldn't narrow them down - he was just too cute! Enjoy!

Park Day
We having been having absolutely beautiful weather here, so we decided to take advantage of it and take Alex to the park. We took him to a newly remodeled park. They had quite a few things that he had never see before and loved! Because the playground is new, the colors were so bright and vibrant - it looked amazing against his orange shirt in the pictures.
Unfortnately, Alex was in a little bit of a mood. Not necessarily a bad mood, but a non-smiling mood! I didn't get very many pictures of him smiling - sorry for that! I guess it just reminds me that you can't predict how pictures will go with an almost 2 year old!
After he played on the playground, he ran to the nearby soccer fields. Larry chased Alex around and Alex had a blast. He was laughing like crazy and growling (yes, it is a new thing and it is interesting)! At the soccer field, he decided that it would be a great idea to throw himself on the goal. He did so and hung from the netting and then he got stuck in the net! So funny and it just goes to show you that you never know what you can expect from Alex.
Enjoy some of our pictures from our time at the park:

Park Time
We went to the park this morning with Aunt Sheena! We decided to show her our favorite park here in Maryland at the nearby elementary school.
It rained last night, so there were a few puddles inside some of the tunnels and on the slides. No worries, it did not deter Alex and he had a great time splashing in the puddles and getting soaking wet!
We took his four-wheeler and he had a blast riding it on the basketball court in the middle of the playground. We took a bunch of pictures - he was being quite photogenic. Enjoy!

Park Day
Alex, Larry and I finally had a day to just spend together and relax! Larry is in between reports at school and had a little bit more downtime this weekend than normal!
Before the rain hit this afternoon, we went to our favorite park in the area! We brought Alex's four-wheeler and let him run around on the playground! He loves to be outside!
Here are some pictures from the day! Oh, and for those of you that are always asking where the pictures of Alex and I are...there are a few in this slideshow! I finally got out from behind the camera :)

Park and Solomon's Island
Today, Alex and I took Kari to the park. Larry and I have found a great one at one of the Elementary Schools around here, so we decided to show Kari! I brought Alex's four-wheeler, so he was able to ride it around the basketball court in the middle of the playground (as well as the grass fields around the playground). Alex loved having Kari at the park with him - she went on all the stuff with him and rode a couple of slides, too! He would pull her along and tell her to "go, go, go!"
After the park, we came home for some lunch and naptime (Alex, not us)! Larry called us when he got off work and we met him so he could give Kari a tour of his school. She loved being able to see Larry's cubicle, the hangars, the jets and the helicopters. Larry's school is really impressive and I am glad we got to share that with her!
Once we were done with the tour, we went to eat at a seafood restaurant on Solomon's Island. Solomon's is a cute little town just across the bridge - they have little shops, several seafood restaurants, a nice boardwalk, and beautiful homes! The restaurant was great - unlike the two we have previously tried! Alex was pretty good during dinner - he imitated a woman at the table next to us by "sneezing and coughing" into his napkin just after she did! He was VERY entertaining! After dinner, we walked around the island and looked at the amazing houses! The weather was incredible - we were very lucky!
