Safety Town

This morning Andrew and I took the boys to Mason's Mills Park to play on the playgrounds, the little safety town they have set up and for a picnic lunch. It was a beautiful day so we wanted to get out and do something with the kids, especially since Nate is now only taking one nap a day. We try to keep him occupied in the morning so he doesn't notice he's tired!

This little safety town is so cute - a true town set up for the kids to run through and ride bikes around. It's adorable! We had been here once before last year but I wanted to try it again now that Nate will also be able to enjoy it.

Ben was not too into taking photos today so he would not stand still or smile, but I did happen to get one of him in front of one of his favorite buildings, the firestation.

Here's Nate in front of the Home Depot. He has morphed into another mini Andrew lately, loving to go on errand runs to "the depot" and Lowe's with dad. In addition, the newest word he has added to his vocabulary is "hammer!" Another little fix-it man in the making :)

Here he is exploring the safety town with his walker. He loves to walk all over the place, even if steering is still something he needs to work on. (sidewalks, beware!)

Finally, the three men having their lunch. Nate's so excited to sit at the "big table" lately and will pull himself right up to it instead of preferring to eat off of his tray. Ben loves that he is allowed to have a little bag of chips whenever we take a picnic lunch someplace :)
