conrad jay - week 48

This is how Conrad felt about the frog we caught.

We started out last week by finding a toad.  The boys were so excited the catch it and house it.  And then something cooler happen, the toad ate a worm they had previously caught.  For a boy, does it get any cooler than that??

Amos' special day this month involved biking with Dad.  Jason ran along with hiim, but Amos said he could beat him.

Then they went to Sonic to cool off!

This guy.

On Thursday we hit the trail with friends.  Nyssa's pointing out the nest we spotted in the tree. We had fun practicing the art of observation.

And almost all the kids climbed up the overpass.  I had to go up behind my crazy one *cough*IVAN!  Those are some brave kids.

Making full use of our stroller.

Jason took Friday off and we headed to NW Arkansas for a family day.  We can no longer visit without hitting up the Amazeum.  The boys found lots to entertain them.

They had a new building section that I thought was so cool.  Walls could be built, houses painted, and tiled laid.  

And I love that they have two little spots for the littlest of guys.  Conrad had fun exploring away from all the big kids.

And the Wal-mart section was a hit again!  The food is so real.  I would have loved this place as a kids.  I kinda still do.

We lunched at Crystal Bridges.  Amos had trouble staying on the sidewalk when there was so much to explore.  

Over the weekend we got to have dinner with friends.  And there were a lot of boys!  They all played so well together.

Oh, doesn't that look fun to play in?

More digging.  Always digging.

The boys rode bikes all morning long.  Silas was known as "Speed Lightning."  Ivan was called, "Thunderation."  And Amos we dubbed, "Faster than Fast."  Good naps were the result.
