More play doh fun

Since we painted yesterday (sorry no pics) we took a turn with the play-doh today. I wouldn't have gotten the camera out but Jake had to start spelling with it!!! He shaped the letters without any help from me. Plus, so you know that Jake isn't the only smartie, Tom was playing with a letter magnet today & when I asked him what the letter was he told me correctly! Too cool! I tried to get an action shot of Tom kicking the ball, but I took it too early. The McQueen ball (as we call it) is good for kicking, but Tom is not tall enough to put it on top of the fort.

The new fort!!

To encourage the guys to play in the back yard & to relive some fun from his own childhood, daddy built the guys a great fort out of wood pallets. It is very sturdy and the guys love it. My contribution was to suggest making chalk decorations. Jake has mastered climbing up & down on top, but Tom hasn't & we aren't encouraging him to!

Play Doh & Cousins

What could be more fun than playing play-doh with some buds? My guys were joined by their Sunbury cousins, Riley & Macy for a morning of fun. They all enjoyed the play-doh and cookie cutters & no one ate any! The socks were knitted for Jake by Grammy Gretchen, they look great and fit nicely too!

Sesame Street & Choo Choo!

Two of the things we always have to do at the Strong Museum are visit Sesame Street & ride the choo choo. Driving Elmo's taxi is lots of fun for Jake. Tom is huge train fan, and he kept seeing them all over the Museum. There was a long line but they finally got to ride!

Strong Museum Fun

Whenever we go to Rochester Jake insists we visit the Strong National Museum of Play. We all love it & Grammy has a membership so she & the Grandkids get in free! This past visit we were able to take Aunt Susan & Uncle Steve along with us. These pics are just a small fraction of what we actually did.
