New Toys

We may be bad parents, but we bought Cody a little 50cc 4-wheeler this weekend. He loves it and keeps asking to ride all the time, but he is not good enough to ride by himself yet.


Sarah was my little berry picking buddy the last few days. Our black raspberries have been coming on, and she loves to pick them, but I think she eats more than she throws in the bucket!

Lake Tobias

We went to Lake Tobias after church on Sunday. Cody was enchanted with the baby goat in the petting zoo. It was the end of the day by the time we got to the petting zoo, so none of the animals were very hungry, but the gatekeeper lady kept her head turned while Cody chased and carried the animals!

Sarah was not so into the goats after a big one grabbed on to her dress and pulled her across the pen. When we handed her some crackers to give to them, she ate them herself. Hope they were sanitary!

Cody was so cute. In this picture, it looks like he is nicely feeding the llama, but he was actually screaming, "Eat, eat!" Then he turned around and said, "The mmamma doesn't want to eat."



Funny that my son is climbing the fence to the monkey pen right next to the sign that says keep off. Perhaps he belongs on the other side of the fence!






Wheels and Stuff

Cody and Sarah were always fighting over our little bubble mower, so Mike's mom found one at a yard sale and brought it over. They have had a lot of fun mowing the yard together. Too bad it doesn't actually cut the grass!
Cody got new wheels for his birthday, and he was a little unsure about it at first, but now he is getting pretty good.


And of course, our evening summer ritual of the family four wheeler ride. (I am usually also on the four-wheeler) Both kids LOVE it, though Cody has been starting to say that he wants his own "huge" four wheeler to ride down the driveway.

I guess his little four wheeler isn't cutting it anymore. He gets mad when Sarah rides it, though. She just figured out how to push the buttons and make it go, which she loves, and she didn't want to get off the night I took these pictures (Cody was sleeping!) even though it was pouring down rain!
