Backyard Fun

It got up into the 90's the other day so I let Rayna play in the water. I was going to get out her pool but got impatient trying to air it up. So I set the sprinkler up instead. I had to turn it down really low because Rayna kept getting upset when it would spray her face.

Here's a good action shot.
Here she is relaxing afterwords. Playing in the sprinkler is hard work you know.

Last night John was grilling for dinner and Rayna followed him outside. I looked out the back door and this is what I saw. (John is replacing the siding and building a cover for the patio. That's where all the wood came from)

Ducks and a Museum

Well, here's some recent events from around our house. Our neighbor told me about a duck pond so we took Rayna to check it out. She really liked it. The ducks were really friendly. You could probably touch them if you wanted-- and Rayna did. I was a liitle concerned about that. I'm not sure how clean wild ducks are.

Two weeks ago Bret, Amber and the kids visited. Bret had conferences or something during the day so Amber and the kids hung out at our house. Amber was reading a book to Rayna and Samuel. I tried to get a picture but when Rayna saw I had a camera she started acting silly.

The rest of these pictures are from a children's museum that Rayna and I went to with a friend from church and her kids. I didn't know how much Rayna would enjoy it since she's still young (19 months now), but she LOVED it.


She got to milk a cow (which was a little weird) but she thought it was great. I had to get a picture of her with this little couch. I thought it was really cute.

Here is Nicole and Rayna at the airline ticket counter. Here she is shopping.

She loaded up on all the lobsters they had. She's got good taste.

And lots of bread.
I think I had as much fun watching her as she did. There were a lot of things I wanted to play with too. Maybe next time there won't be so many adults around and I can play in the miniature house with her.

John Makes the News.

John was on the news tonight. He went to the gun range today and they were there interviewing people. I tried to put the video clip right on here but couldn't do it. So here is the link to it: http://www.kens5.com/video/index.html?nvid=343688&shu=1
