Picnic and Playtoy Fun.

The other day we had a family picnic in the park and we had so much fun. Ethan got to play with his cousins and he couldn't get enough! What was great about this play toy was the tunnels and the dinosaur, the slides and the running back and forth. It took him a while to get the gist of what to do, but once he did, he loved every second of it.
He would walk up each step and say "Step, step, step." till he reached the top. After I tool this picture of him on the slide he looked up and smiled. Of coarse he would wait till I had already snapped the picture. Oh well, what is a mother to do. He had so much fun!


They also had one of the cyclone slides. Ethan would climb the Dino and race as fast as he could to go through the tunnel to slide down. No fear what so ever with this kid! He got to a point where he didn't want to go down on his bottom, he slid down on his tummy, feet first. I tell you, I don't know what we are going to do with this kid!

The older boys would follow the kids around and pretend to scare them. This is one of the times that Ethan was trying to get away. They were all laughing so hard and just having a ball. Later that night, Ethan and I went back to play on the toys, after we had eaten, and some other kids were playing too. Ethan would chase them around and make monster noises because he wanted to play like the big boys again. He really had so much fun!

As we were eating dinner, Ethan had seen some birds flying by and wanted to chase them around. We walked up and down the path for a good 45 mins. just so we could try to catch a bird. I think he only had 2 bites of his supper and the rest of the time was playing. When we got home, I don't think he had anything else to eat that day. He was so tired, but wanted to play some more. What a kid! Bless his little heart, he just can't get enough of running and playing. While we were chasing birds, he decided he wanted to march instead of run. Then we tried walking backwards for a bit. I'm pretty sure that one day soon he is going to start skipping.

This is a picture of Ethan trying to going through the tunnel to get away from the older boys. Really he was headed for the slide. Also one of the last rides down the slide, it seems to be a shocking experience for him. But did I mention how much fun he had?
