Yet another touch-a-truck event

We started the unusually warm weekend (highs in the 80's) with another touch a truck event, this one sponsored by the city. This one was extra special because a helicopter landed right in front of us.

Vikings weekend

Evan really likes his Auntie Suzie and Uncle Reid. Little boy and little dog got along fine. Here he is entranced by Suzie's iPhone.

While the big boys went to the game, we took a walk to a playground. Here, Evan is sporting his new hat and showing us some sticks he collected.

I'm 100% boy

Evan is showing us what happens when your face meets the sidewalk. He was pushing a car like he does at home all the time. Uneven sidewalks aren't quite as smooth. Mommy actually heard the skull clunk on impact. All's well and Evan was more than happy to drive the fire truck a few days later. Currently, he's obsessed with all emergency vehicles.

Labor Day '10

Evan enjoys petting zoos much more now. He's not scared at all and when the animal run around he screams with excitement.

We also discovered the joy of playdough, or at least the new version of it.

And of course we couldn't miss the train ride.

We ended the evening with rides. Evan's favorite was the motorcycles.

Evan even tried the roller coaster for the first time.

Gamma and Gampa come to visit

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit over a lovely summer weekend. We went to the trolley museum which to a 2 year old is going to see "choo choos". We were surprised that there was no actual building with displays, it's really just the 10 minute ride. Next time, we'll have to get the unlimited ticket because one ride was not enough.

Here is Evan on the "boose".

Trains!

Look, he's using the train table for...trains! We went with the wooden Thomas the train set. We've had them for 1 week and that's all he wants to play with. The world of Thomas toys is vast. Ebay has come through for us to get good deals because buying new ones could bankrupt us. It also works well when you want particular engines. Here, Evan is showing us his knowledge of the engines names.

County fair 2010

We made what is becoming an annual trip to the county fair. It was exactly the same as last year but Evan can interact much more. Here's the corn pit above. The fishing game, below, was a huge hit.
