Off to Sharbot lake

Traditionally we go to Sharbot Lake to Terry and Stephanie Goodfellows cottage on the long weekend in August. This year being the same we had nothing to keep us home to do. and why stop doing the things that we normally do.
Through this entire process we have tried to keep the kids lives as normal as possible. We no longer know what normal is though.

Regardless they had a great time. As always. Darin thought he would try to hook the tube up to his boat and try out the motor.

It appeared to have enough power to pull Dalton so Dalton was bugging him all weekend to take him out. So they spent some time doing that. Most of the time, as always though the kids were in the water. The weather has been so screwy this year that I didn't find the lake to be as warm as it has been in the past.

Tyson loves Terry and Steph. He has a great time back there. He plays on their ginormous deck and loves the lake. The bigger boys are allowed to play around the dock and near it with no grown ups but they must wear life jackets and of course we can see them from the deck. But Tyson thought he should be out there too. Too small for that yet. So he was a little disappointed!

This is where Tyson spend most of his time right around these rocks swimming and moving the sand. He found a leech which he didn't like too much but we got it before it managed to totally freak him out.

He just played and would stay there all day if we left him. He loved it! Can you tell?

On Sunday a friend of Terry and Darin came back with his tractor to remove some large stones out from under the cottage for them. He brought his tractor. Yes, I said tractor! You can imagine Tyson's excitement. See how happy he was!! But he did notice it wasn't a john deer but played on it all the same!

Thanks for the great weekend as always Goodfellows!!

The......John Deere TRACTOR!!

Well I have to use John Deere tracor green for this post.

Since we didn't spend very much on Tyson for Christmas and we knew he needed a new bike for Easter we decided to wait. I was into Walmart in Febuary, they had this little tractor and trailer on sale. It was normally $249.00 and it was on sale as old stock for $100.00. And since Tyson is tractor crazy and I mean CRAZY! We decided to get it for him. It has a trailer like I said and it is a bike. It has pettles and a chain. He loves it. He sat on it and wouldn't get off to watch TV. To eat or anything. He sat on it. For three full days. He loves it!

Tyson's first ride in the dump truck

Today was a weird day, I didn't have a babysitter and we had a staff meeting that wasn't scheduled all that long ago. So Tyson had to go to work with Dady for a couple of runs. About and hour or so. He had a great time he though going in the dump truck was the greatest thing ever!

He sat right up there. I though that he weould have a nap because he was tired but Darin said he was bright eyed and bushy tailed the entire time. He was so curious Darin said and happy to see the loaders which to him were "tractors", and squeeled in delight when they loaded them up. They were delivering to the air base and then Ty saw the air bus then all he said was "plane".

All his favorite things in one day how will we ever top that????

Outside fun!!

Today we were outside the better part of the day playing. Daddy cut the grass, whenever the boys are outside and Dad does this, they know it is time to ride!!



They both love to ride the John Deer tractor. I hope that they continue to love it when thay are old enough to cut the grass! They drive around the yard with the blades not running for hours if you let them!! Tyson even goes and sits on it when we are outside just to sit on it and pretend he is driving it.



It was after they had bounced around on the trampoline, played in the sprinkler, the sandbox and the tree house! After that they figured it was time for some chow!



I am glad that the nice weather is finally here. The pool is open but a bit shilly yet to swim. 64*. It needs to warm up yet for this gal to be in it!!!
