Summer Outings: June 13-17

June 13: Will did not find this funny, but I was cracking up! He was trying to climb on the couch, using the basket of toys as a help. Well, he got all turned around and ended up getting stuck in the basket. Instead of helping, I thought taking a picture would be better ;) He did get himself out and then up onto the couch, so happy ending for him!

June 14: It's summer & it's hot! Get the pool out!! Last summer, we had a small pool for Will and this year we got one with a mini-slide attached. William had so much fun splashing and jumping around in the water.

June 15: Open Gym time! Again, it was toasty outside so we chose an inside activity at Debbie Howard's gym. The last time we went was a couple months ago and now William was able to do so much more on his own. He didn't need my help climbing up to get to the slides or pushing anything around. He even ran across their trampoline floor, but was not so keen on jumping into the foam pit (but was okay when I put him in it). He, of course, found his beloved vacuum toy and played with it more than any of the other toys.

 

interesting outfit choice...

June 16: We checked out a splash pad today. There is only one in all of Johnson County and it's about 20-25 minutes away from us. It was PERFECT for William. We haven't gone to the pool yet this summer and he's only been in his small home pool so far (besides swim lessons at the Y). He ran around like crazy and wanted to catch all the water and get splashed by the jets. Our friends came with us and they have a to-be 1st grader (Audrey) who wanted to play with William the whole time. She was amazing with him and it was like having a babysitter for Bret and me!

WORE OUT! He didn't make it 5 minutes in the car before passing out!

June 17: Olathe had a Touch A Truck event (free!) today and William loves to watch any and all trucks and tractors we see on the road or little ones he has to play with. He walked the whole time, holding my hand, and looked at everything. He did a great job!
