Fourth of July off weekend

We had a wonderful time off together this past weekend. The nice hotel in town, The Hampton Inn, luckily had a room for us. It was even lake front. Other than a crazy 3 year old that pulled a fire alarm 3 times and us complaining nicely to get a free night, we enjoyed every minute. Abraham LOVED playing in their kid pool. Once he figured out the slide, he couldn't stop going down...especially on his belly. Unfortunately, I didn't get a video of his belly laugh every time he did it. Fishing is still the favorite activity. He has learned how to "cast" and then will even try to reel in his catch. It's really fun when he catches mom or dad.

Hard to believe, but we are wrapping up our last week or so here at camp. David still has one trip to go and then we have a family road trip home, plus Bertrand and our new nanny Alex "Muffin" Button. Should be a great time. The new findings here are that Aber's actually has a real word that somebody other than his mother can understand. The other day, he was in the health center, had eaten a go-gurt for snack, walked to the fridge, and then asked for more. He used his sign at the same time he said "mohr" very clearly and more than once! What a first word! He is also very clearly calling MAMA.

Grabbing the water and having a good time when it splashed him.

Happy faced smiles coming down the slide.

First 4th of July parade. He really liked the music and would dance any time a float with music came by.

Dumping little babies out of strollers after holding them by an ankle upside down. Might have some work to do before the next one gets here!

Playing in the sand with his new favorite person.
