End of Summer

Summer came to an end quickly, but the weather lately suggests quite the opposite. Ryan had an eventful end to his summer. Aunt Kari came down with cousins Madi and Gavin. We went to the beach for about an hour. Ryan was traumatized (due to a previous beach experience that I do not care to mention) and hated the water. Madi was also unimpressed with the water and pretty much the entire beach scene. Gavin seemed to like the beach the most and ran towards the water constantly and played well in the sand. (He only ate a little bit of sand.) Needless to say I think the walk to the beach was longer then our actual time on the sand near the water. That made for two grumpy mommies, with all that work to get there you would think we would have stayed a bit longer.










Daddy also took some time off to spend with Ryan. We took Ryan to the Zimmer Children's Museum. It is an interactive museum where kids can touch and play with everything. They have a large ambulance, dress up clothes, a pretend cafe, an airplane, a water table, a bounce room, and much, much more!










Ryan loved the water table!









The bounce room was a big hit!










There were large plastic bugs that would go around in circles, of course Ryan thought this was great! Not to mention the fact that Daddy showed him how to stomp on the light to turn it on. Fun for hours!












But this large magnetic board filled with letters was Ryan's favorite. He kept taking the letter C off the board and putting it around his neck like a necklace. It was pretty funny!














Ah yes, now this is a look!

We also went to the beach, just the three of us. We had to get Ryan (S and I too) over this fear of Ryan in the water. So, we were off to the beach! I do not want Ryan to have a fear of water, but as soon as we got there and tried to get him in the water. This is Ryan's reaction.












My poor baby!! We over exaggerated how exciting it was to be in the water. Until finally...










He couldn't get enough! We tried taking him out of the water after about 30 minutes of the waves crashing at his feet and he threw a major temper tantrum (not on camera, obviously!) We succeeded in getting him (and us) over our fear of the ocean.
