Beckett and Ry in front of the Mini-Train or "Toot" as Bex says. He loves trains and gets so excited to ride this each and every time we go to the park. It's really fun. It meanders through the forest, over bridges and through tunnels. We even saw a family of deer the first time we went. Such a great activity for our little family.
Bex loves to get on the merry-go-round and is always pretty chill as the music plays and the horse goes up and down. Getting him OFF the thing is more of a trick. I think he'd stay on all day if we'd let him. 
We've spent many hot afternoons playing in this water fountain. It's only a short walk from our house and he loves to splash with the other kids. On this particular occasion we had gone out to dinner and were listening to one of the bands that play there each weekend. We hadn't anticipated swimming, so we just stripped him down to his diaper and let him have at it. He had a ball. 
Our pool has been a total life-saver in this heat. Bex and I go a LOT. He loves the water and is very good at kicking and blowing bubbles. I dunk him each time we go and even though he doesn't seem to love it, he always closes his mouth and holds his breath and shakes off the water as soon as he comes up. I think he'll be a water guy like his mom and dad.
We tried to go to a water park for the 4th of July. Everyone else had the same idea as us and the park was overflowing with people. We ended up sitting by a lake and playing on the hills waiting for them to allow us in. It was a fun day despite the fact that we never actually got to swim. This video shows Beckett enjoying his first ice cream cone. He LOVED it! Big surprise. :)
We've had a great summer!
