4th of July

We had a pretty low key 4th of July but headed over to Raceway Park in the evening so Alex could see some "racecars." He enjoyed watching the races and decided he's a big boy now and had to sit on the bench by himself and no more headphones. He stayed awake until after 10:00pm and we even saw some fireworks on our way out, but by then I think Alex was too tired to care anymore.

"Go! Go! Go!"

19 Months

I'm a little late on this one but here's a 19 month picture of Alex.

Dan Patch Days

Last weekend was Dan Patch Days, the annual little festival in Savage. We headed over with our friends Heidi, Jason, and Henry. Alex and Henry rode in the luxury 2-seater wagon, which got multiple compliments along the way.

We started out with a ride on Kaptain Kirby's train. Alex is

really into trains right now so we thought he'd love it.

We were wrong! Henry liked it but not Alex.

Notice Alex in the picture below.

So then Mom got a free ride on the train to

keep Alex under control.

The petting zoo was a much bigger hit with Alex
(but less so with Henry).

Okee Dokee Brothers

During the summer, Savage has a Music in the Park night once a month. We went to check it out last week to hear the Okee Dokee Brothers play and had a blast. Alex was a booty shaking, foot flying, spinning maniac. He was so pumped up that he was literally running circles around a picnic table when the show was over. For some reason I can't get the videos to post on the blog but I'll try to post them later.

Playdate

Alex had a fun playdate with his friends Henry, Bailey, and Wyatt earlier this week. We are looking forward to many more playdates this summer!

Jill's Graduation

Last weekend we drove down to Evanston, IL for Jill's graduation from Northwestern. We stopped for a night in Milwaukee to see some family before heading to IL. It was a pretty busy weekend but it was nice to see everyone.

Happy Father's Day, Dad/Grandpa!

Water Balloons

In honor of Alex's last day of daycare, all of the kids got to play with water balloons. They went through the entire wagon full of balloons in about 2 minutes but they all had a great time.
