The Guys

Backyard

When we moved into the house our yard was covered in snow, at one point more than 20 inches of it. A few months later and some warmer temps have let us discover the backyard we now own. I think the boys will love it this summer and it's great that we have a fence this time.

Gabriel has already escaped once out the dog door so thank goodness for the fence. I was upstairs making the bed and heard the doorbell ring. I went downstairs and looked out front and didn't see anyone but still heard the bell. I then realized we have a bell on the back door too and Gabriel was standing outside ringing it.

This weekend was super nice, we ended up taking the boys outside and roasting marshmellows to make smores, they were a hit.

Touch a Truck

Nico was in heaven today and Gabriel nearly was himself. I took the boys to touch a truck. We've never been to one before and now I see why they are such a hit for little guys. Nico climbed into a huge bull dozer, a moving van, ambulance, cherry picker, trolley where he and Gabe got to ring the bell, a school bus, and some other pretty huge trucks.

I had to peel them away at the end to leave but it was so much fun to see how wide their eyes got when they realized they were allowed to climb inside all the big "mighty machines" as Nico calls them.
