Weekend pics

We wanted to make use of the recreation passport that I got with my registration this year by going to a state park.  So, we decided to go to Sterling State Park on Lake Erie.  The kids had a lot of fun playing by the water and sand.  It was fun sitting by the beach.  The only downside was there was no showers or waterspouts in sight so I had to wash sand off Anna in the sink.  The bathrooms were really gross and there was a BIG spider in there.  Other than that, we had a good time.

This was Anna and Lukey's idea of a fun game.  Anna really likes to wear this backpack/leash and Lukey liked taking her for "walks" by putting the leash in his mouth.  He has gotten really into taking her for walks lately.  Not usually like this.  Usually by holding her hand and taking her around the house and taking her by the pretend food and making a picnic for her.  She likes it too.  What she really likes to do it fall down and laugh and make him pull her up again.  Until he gets too aggressive.  Then she gets mad and they'll stop playing.  It goes on for awhile though.  They're becoming better friends.  

Lukey walking Anna while she holds some of her favorite things-a pacifier and 2 baseball pictures of Kent.  She really likes carrying these pictures around.  

This morning we went to the Arb.  It was very lovely.  We saw 2 bucks, a groundhog a few poodles, and a chipmunk.  It was also Lukey's first time using a porta-potty!  He stood on top of the seat to pee "just like da."  Whatever works.

We were very impressed with how far these 2 ran.  For a little tike, Anna was very good at walking and running a long time.  Lukey was especially good and climbing a lot of steps (or as he called them "stairs").

Anna got a little angry that no one was holding her hand to cross the bridge.  As soon as I was done taking this picture I held her hand and she was happy to cross.

I tried to tell Lukey to rest his elbow on this fence for a picture but he rested his head instead.

Anna absolutely loves bubbles.
