The End of Summer Break

We turned the page to August and discovered we still had a lot of fun to fit into our summer schedule.

Will has been asking for a camel ride every time we're at the zoo. He rode with this little girl that couldn't ride by herself. Thomas was not interested.

Thomas chose to ride the carousel with Daddy.

The kids enjoyed seeing the fun art

Who needs to play on the playground when you can catch water coming out of the drinking fountain?!

 Thomas has hit several milestones this month. He is (finally) potty trained. He is "graduating" from food therapy at the end of the month. He moved to his big (queen) bed. He will turn 4 in a matter of days and then school starts! Eek!

We spent a morning at the Jester Park Natural Playscapes. The boys loved it and could have spent much more time there. Luckily it's close by. Unfortunately we forget it's there.

It was a good thing I brought towels and some extra shorts for Thomas.
