August Already???

The month is already half over!  Goodness, we sure had a head wave here in Portland.  Thankfully, we have enough room in our backyard to put up a rectangular swimming pool that is perfect for the boys.  Nolan LOVES the water.  Bennett enjoys it, especially when Maggie and Mollie join them.

The first Monday of August, Justin and I took the day off and went to the Clark County fair.  The boys had a wonderful time.  The weather was perfect (a little hot, but tolerable) and we had plenty of time to walk around and look at the animals.  The boys really enjoyed going on a pony ride.  We knew Bennett would do fine, but Nolan did really well, too.  Of course, they had fun on the rides.  In the next few years, I know they will go hog wild.  For now, we stuck to the kiddie rides (motor cycle, train, airplane).

Nolan playing with the Geotrax.  There is no shortage 

of train toys in our house, that's for sure.

So, yeah, Geotrax was put away at B's request.  He 

wanted the "big train".

Didn't you know that superheroes wear rain boots?

They also wear long pants and ride their bike in 90+ degree weather.

Nolan loved it when M&M made a big splash.  He 

kept asking them to do it over and over again.

All of the kids in the pool.  They had so much fun!

We don't have a whole lot going on the rest of this month.  We are looking forward to spending Labor Day weekend at LMCH.  We're all excited about the trailer.  Maybe this year we'll make it down to the lake in time to get a good spot on the beach.  I know that Nolan will love it.  Bennett, well, we'll have to wait and see how he likes the lake.
