Quick Post

We have a busy weekend coming up so I wanted to post before life gets hectic (I mean FUN).
Ryan made the newspaper again! Same event just different newspaper. This time he was in the Story City Herald. I am guessing Story County Conversation submitted the photo to the Herald.

A couple other things that have been going on....

We went to a storytime at Reiman Gardens. Ryan had a really good time. I was really surprised how well the storytime went. The instructors kept the kids attention very well along with great activities and crafts. I didn't take my camera because I thought we were just going to storytime but we walked around the gardens and visited the butterfly house. All of this photos were taken by Anna. I love this shot. Ryan and I holding a butterfly. It wasn't even a planned photo. Great job, Anna.

We really do have other friends besides Treyton and Cainan. Have to see them as much as possible during the summer. When Anna goes back to school (teacher) we won't get to see them as much :(

We took the boat out last weekend. We bought two new inflatable. This one is the very stable kids inflatable. I rode in it by myself first, just to check it out. Ben tried to dump me off but this thing was NOT going to tip over.

Ryan is still a little scared about being pulled behind the boat. Okay, a lot scared. Poor little guy! He screamed most of the time but there were a couple seconds where I got him calmed down. I am hoping that if we keep exposing him to it without over doing it, he will begin to enjoy it. He is still little so we have many more years to try. The second inflatable is like a knee board but really bouncy. It was a lot of fun.

For playgroup this week we had a Kindermusik Demo class here is Story City. Ryan is in the green. He just isn't into music and art stuff. He participated but not really interested. We tried a music program last summer too, same results. Just not his thing. At least I found out before paying for the class.

After Kindermusik we all went to the Story City Park and Carousel. Ryan liked the carousel much better. It was a perfect day weatherwise.
