Thursday, June 30

This morning we had gymnastics class.  Every Thursday, we go to class and meet Jen and Owen there.  You are Mr. Explorer!  Today was our 2nd time at our new class and you listened a little to the instructor's directions and copied Owen when he did a few things... walking like a bear, tippy toeing, and walking backwards.  Brynn was sweet and helped show you how to run on the trampoline and work the obstacle course.  You had fun with her!  The class is set up like this... we have a few minutes free time at the beginning, followed by an instructor led warm up, more free time, and then a regrouping at the end.  I think there are about five other children in our class.  A perfect small group size!  Fun!

 Whenever we are on the road home, we slow down to look for the horses.  There is a stable less than a mile from the house where some beautiful "neigh neighs" live.  If the horses aren't out, we say they are probably sleeping.  And you said "nigh night".  We also sometimes see steers/cows when we turn up our road by the mailbox.  Even when Mommy is driving home alone, I still slow down and look for the animals.  Country living is fantastic!  We love it out here!


Right now, Daddy, you, and Titus are walking a 1/2 mile down the road to get the mail.  Daddy is going on a big backpacking trip with his friend-boss this summer and he's training.  Having you two guys, plus a heavy backpack, definitely puts things in the training category.
