Happy Memorial Day

We spent Friday and Saturday night out at the island. The boys got out to play between rain showers and managed to have some fun!
We love moving dirt around(in our shoes)!
Evan and Donald set up these beach chairs in the sun. They sat looking away because the sun was in their eyes. This is our 3rd summer hanging out at the island with Donald. He will be 3 in July, so he is right in between Evan and Alex and he plays well with both of them.
Alex likes moving dirt around too. They always want to add water to their projects. Alex managed to dump half a bucket of water on his shoes. Good thing he didn't get it over his head(had the bucket been smaller he would've). Hopefully warmer temperatures are on the way, and we won't have to worry about a little water on our shoes or clothes.

This floating platform is still on the beach, so the boys climbed up and did ring around the rosie.

Heading back to the boat slip on Sunday.

At the island the boys enjoyed putting these noodles off the back of the boat. They push each other to get more space in the tiny doorway.

After we got off the boat last night we went to the Drive-Inn for dinner and there was a bobcat doing some landscape work at the auto shop next door. They boys could not wait to finish eating, so they could go watch the bobcat.

This year Alex really does not want to wear his life jacket while we are underway on the boat, so he stays below in the cabin and watches movies on Daddy's iPad. He's trying to get me to come down there with him.

This morning we took the kids to LifeTime to go swimming. After nap we took them to a park they call the dinosaur park. With all the rain we have had there was a huge puddle on some pavement. Evan had to take off his shoes and run around in it. He managed to fall and get himself all wet and muddy.

Then his brother and Daddy had to join him. Alex managed to fall too and they were both soaking wet!

When we drive by this park on the road you can see this big dinosaur, so that is why they call it dinosaur park!

Eric brought the T-Ball set, but the grass was really soggy from the rain, so Alex just hit the ball a couple times.

Evan got a track extension kit for his Thomas Train set, so we can make a track for each boy to run a train on. They had fun playing trains this morning, because it was raining most of the morning.

The darn squirrels kept eating out of my bird feeder, so I found this squirrel feeder at Fleet Farm and bought it. They ripped it off the deck and broke the glass. Guess that didn't work!

We have a wild turkey that has been coming to visit our yard. The boys enjoyed watching it our our window.
