Scary stuff isn't it!

Rocket Man

This was the "impenetrable spacesuit"(his words, not mine) he built yesterday to fly to outerspace and battle the aliens

Touch A Truck

This past Saturday we went to Touch a Truck in Lincoln Park. They had a firetruck, bobcat, police rescue vehicle, giant lawnmower and lots of fun other trucks. EJ loved every minute of it and had so much fun, even though it was sweltering hot.

Such a handsome firefighter

I think Uncle Erik might try to recruit him for some lawn cutting duty

Water Park

We recently returned from our annual week long trip to Indiana Beach. The kids had so much fun being with their cousins all week, swimming and going on rides. There are lots of pictures following this post so enjoy.

Paco and I walked Molly all over the water park. Too bad she couldn't have mastered walking one week earlier :)

She had so much fun playing in the water

EJ, of course, had an absolute blast

He loved the water guns

lots of rides

We went on lots and lots of rides this year. This was Molly's first experience with rides and she absolutely loved every minute of them. As soon as we finished she would sign "more, more" until we took her on another ride. EJ liked the kid rides, but he was also into the big rides. His favorite were the falling star and music express (this whips you around forwards and backwards--very fast!). I'm sure he'll be on all the roller coasters as soon as he's tall enough.

This was her very first ride and clearly she loved every minute of it

She's Off!

Well, it's official...we have a walker. Molly had taken a few steps before, but yesterday she just took off and was walking everywhere. Here is a video of some of those first wobbly steps.
