This summer, we were all about any activity that particularly appealed to our younger boys.

The children's museum - perfect!

Balls

The treehouse - Aidan's favorite:)

Waterworks - Luke's favorite along with the Little Sprouts "sandbox".

Dinosaurs

Blocks

Building skyscrapers

Construction workers

What a heavy load.

Trains

Can you tell that he never plays without sound effects;)

Feeding the fish and turtles

Truck driver

Every time he climbed into one of the vehicles, he would pause for a moment...

I watched him carefully to see what he was up to...

putting on his seatbelt:) :) :)

Counting our blessings:

On the way home, Patrick noticed that the Merc was much louder than normal and was pulling badly to the left. Over the next few miles, it continued to get worse. We pulled over to check the tires, suspecting a flat, but all appeared to be normal. We continued 1 more exit before deciding that it was NOT safe to go any further.

To make a long story short, the next morning the tow guy arrived to tow the Merc back to the shop. He drove it briefly and then informed us that there was nothing wrong with it other than a nail in one tire and only 2 lug nuts on another (supposed to have 5). YIKES!!!!

Blessing #1. The truck is not in need of another expensive repair.

Blessing #2. We were protected on the road and pulled over before the entire wheel dropped off.

Blessing #3. A knowledgeable tow guy

God is GOOD!!!

What a memorable day!!!
