Summer Part 2

We went to the open house for our new fire station. They had cake, balloons, and lots of trucks out! It was so great because it wasn't crowded like most of the city events. Ty was in heaven!

  

 

I love this picture-so happy!

  Ty is obsessed with "shoot the water." Anything and everything long and skinny becomes a fire hose at our house. Here he is with a real fire hose!  Then he actually got to shoot the water! We're aiming at a wood panel with a house painted on it and you shoot the windows out that are on "fire" (or another wood panel with fire painted on it).

 Tim taught a class the entire month of June, so we took a morning off and took him to the Zoo for the first time (besides Zoo Lights in December).  Ty liked all of the bears. The polar bear was very active for us.

The real reason we go to the zoo.

 

 

A few lunch outings. Can't beat free chick fil a and Ty is really into his new shades.

Who knew I was eating lunch with a celebrity?

Summer

Ty and I have been trying to get out a little more now that it is summer. We love hanging out and being best buds!

The Zoo Carousel-always a favorite of Ty's and least favorite of mine (too much spinning for me)

Waiting to watch the Elephants

The Elephants put on a show for us and even swam!

   

We also caught a Rockies-Braves game with the Denzers. Ty had a total blast with Seth and Shelby. We also met up with them for lunch before Shelby's dance recital. Ty loves his cousins.

A few more random pictures...

 "I paying a song" ...on the mailbox. 

Could he take after his mom and be a future percussionist?

 Last minute hike with some friends to get out of the house.

Touch A Truck

The city of Louisville does a Touch a Truck event once a year. We were out of town last year, so we were really looking forward to this year! Once Ty woke up on Saturday, we kept telling him we were going to Touch a Truck. Once we got him out of the car he said "Touch fire guck, all right!" and started running toward the trucks. The firefighters hooked a hose up to a fire hydrant and we got to shoot the water, try on firefighter clothes, and climb in the truck!

Ty was pretty shy climbing in all of the trucks, but he jumped right into putting the helmet on.

 

 

 

  

A local dentist's office was contributing train rides on this mini train below. While waiting in line, they offered tooth tattoo's. Ty saw the other kids getting them and so he put his hand out. He was pretty proud of it. The train ride was pure joy for Ty. He was not nervous to be away from us at all. He just smiled the whole time. When it was time to leave, Ty was so sad. He kept pointing back at the trucks and saying "I want to go that way." We'll be counting the days for next year. (And we'll bring ear plugs. We discovered that Touch a Truck could be more correctly named Honk a Horn).
