Yard Work

 
"Dad, you missed a spot over there."  What a good helper!


He's not afraid of a little manual labor. 


He's good help, but sometimes he gets in the way.


That's okay, there's plenty of other things to do outside, like bring sticks to Ricky.


Or, enjoy the peaceful shade under this shrub.


Finally, break time!  That means rides in the wheelbarrow!


Ricky could hardly wait for his turn.


 Sorry Ricky, it's dad's turn for a ride first.

Atlanta

Ross was sent to Atlanta for work for a couple weeks which gave Max, Ricky, and I an excuse to take a little road trip!  We spent the weekend with Ross exploring the city and a few days with a friend.  Max added two new states (Alabama and Georgia) to the list of states he's visited.

After a long ride in car the day before we were antsy to get outside and run around.  We spent a few hours at Piedmont Park.  Max joined in a soccer game and made lots of friends with the other park goers.

  
It feels so good to get out of the car!


After we had our fill of sunshine we went to the Georgia Aquarium.  There was so much to look at!



The little fish are just as fun to watch as the big ones.


The next day was another day of great weather.  We took a long walk around Stone Mountain before parting ways with Ross for the rest of the week.  This old mill made a nice spot for photos.




Next stop, Stacy's house!

You might say he had a fun time playing with her.


How can you not like visiting Stacy when she takes you out for sweet treats?  Max had his first Krispy Kreme experience.  After watching the freshly made donuts roll off the conveyor belt he got to enjoy his first (few bites of) a hot donut.


Ricky made a new friend, too.  Ricky's friend showed him all the best smelling spots in town.

Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

It takes foot work like this...


...to win wrestling matches against opponents like this.
