Camping and Fossil Rim

Sawyer's first camping trip was really fun. Sawyer loved everything about it: sleeping in a tent, throwing rocks into the lake, looking for dinosaur tracks and getting super dirty. We capped the weekend with a drive-through wildlife park in Fossil Rim.

Saywer meets a pinata




Yesterday was National Neighborhood Night Out. Winnetka Heights had a party and Sawyer had his first experience with a pinata. He didn't do much damage. His first few hits were pretty good... then he resorted to repeatedly tapping the pinata. I think he was trying to annoy it so much it'd eventually break. Finally, one of the bigger kids broke the pinata and Sawyer was able to grab some candy. Chris accidentally left the candy at the party but Sawyer did eat a sucker or two before we went home.

Pictures are from the Winnetka Heights website.

Ella's Birthday Party

This picture is from Ella's birthday party. Ella is Sawyer's good friend and travel buddy. They went to Oklahoma together and are going camping together soon. She's in the front row with pig tails. He had a blast at the party and asked to go back the rest of the weekend.

I love this picture because Sawyer decided to wear his mask on the side of his head.

New sand box

Sawyer's school got a new (huge) sand box. Check out all the sand that

Sawyer's boo boo

This morning Sawyer fell down some stairs behind out house and skimmed
his elbow. He had to get two band aids and some arnica. He was pouting
about it until he got to school and was able to show off his band aids
to his very impressed friends.

Untraditional pirate

Today is pirate day at school. I found this shield for Sawyer and his
grandma gave him this hat. Who knew pirates eat pancakes?
