Wadehra Visit Part 1

Parker's buddy Cole came to visit with his mommy and new baby sister Eve.

Cole taught Parker all about being a Big Brother...

Parker got lots of practice and Eve loves the boys!

The boys loved riding the wagon to Parker's favorite neighborhood park: The Fire Park! They even shared a snack of apples along the way.

Mommy got lots of practice too...remembering what it is like to cart a baby around all the time!

After lots of outside fun the boys ate dinner at Parker's picnic table. Cole also taught Parker the fine art of peeing in the bushes - so outside fun often involved no pants - so it was a pantless dinner!

Each day culminated in a bath for those dirty boys - so much fun to bathe together!

The boys spent the mornings reading Thomas books to each other in PJs...

And having "picnic" breakfast in the front room...lucky boys!

Library of Congress

We took cousin Abby to the Library of Congress when she came to visit.

Parker was much more interested in running around than in the library tour...

This photo is for Parker's Daddy - apparently there was a time when Geology was cool...there is a mural dedicated to it on the ceiling of the Library of Congress. Unfortunately Ben missed that time period by about 200 years...

More Painting...

Parker made some great Father's Day gifts for Daddy, Pa Lar, and Grandpa Culver. And his gifts involved some painting, so of course after the gifts were done we had to keep painting some new masterpieces!

He has never had so many color options for painting!

But you can be the one to try to explain to a 2 year-old why you shouldn't mix colors...It all ended up kind of brown...

You Look Like a Monkey

Monkey statues at the zoo...

He was trying to say "cheese" and keep his eyes out of the sun...

Bubbles!

A favorite pass time at our house is Bubble Fun!

Parker could literally play bubbles for hours...but we did have to get him one of the no-spill bubble buckets so we wouldn't go through bubble solution quite so fast.

This is the "I DID IT" cheer for when he blows a successful bubble!
