When the Hunter's away, the Family will play!












The hunting season is upon us once again, which means as Justin's away, Trey and I will play! I had the luxury of having one day of work the rest for play and boy did we ever!
We visited the "duck park" which is a park in Nampa that has Trey's two most favorite items; #1.Ducks, and #2. Swings! We were literally attacked by swarms of ducks, and later retreated to the swings. Trey loves to be pushed "higher, higher, no HIGHER mom" which scares me to death as I vision him flipping out the back of the baby swing seat. Later that afternoon we met up with some friends at the zoo. Trey loved the turtles and the sand box where instead of digging for dinosaur bones, he made pancakes (can you tell what we had for breakfast that morning?!) and threw sand at his friends. Thankfully his friends were very forgiving and let us continue to spend the afternoon with them!!! That evening we had our 4th session of swimming lessons where Trey learned to blow his cheeks up like a balloon, put his head under water, and then come up and blow his balloon out with a "popping" sound. He also tried to float on his stomach like "superman." He thought that was amazing!
Trey had been asking about his friends Sommers, Scott, and baby Shaydon, so we spent a good part of our Friday September 21st with the baby and Sommers. Trey just loves them and was very sad Scott was at work. Trey had been talking about sleeping with Shaydon, so while at their home, while Shaydon slept so peacefully, we placed Shaydon on the floor next to Trey. Trey carefully covered Shaydon up with his blanket and laid next him. So sweet.
After a meeting in Downtown Boise that afternoon, we met back up with Sommers and Shaydon for some serious shopping!
Friday evening was spent at the church orchard. This was our second trip out to the orchard and Trey loved to pick up the nasty apples and scream, "Icky" and throw the apples down on the ground. Megan Warrick and Trey were making each other laugh hysterically as they screamed and shrieked at the nasty, icky apples. Our friends the Baumgartner's, Warrick's and Peterson's were all in attendance; I loved watching all of our kids running after each other. We are so blessed to have friends with children so close to Trey's age.
Trey has really been getting into his Mister Potato Head, his shape sorter and puzzles. He wanted me to help him with his "Potato" so we made a fantastic little Potato guy. After our masterpiece was complete, I said, "Trey, what do you think of your Potato Head?" And his reply, "Cool Dude!!!" Hilarious!
