Veteran's Day 2014

On Veterans Day, it was gorgeous outside.  We decided to go to a park we had seen while driving around the previous weekend.  I liked this park because it had a huge river right next to it and there was the possibility of seeing manatees!  There were a lot of kids there and someone was setting up the BBQ.  Gunnar was less than amused with his first trip to the park.  I think it was because it was his first time wearing shoes too...

Cheers!

Ready for the park!  Maybe...

First, we tried the straight slide.  Gunnar wasn't impressed.

Then we tried the twisty slide...

We did the bumpy slide a couple times too.

And ended with a walk out onto the dock.

More Pinterest stuff.  I don't know how I managed before Pinterest.  My Mom has always been super creative and my Dad can build just about anything, so I have the genes to make stuff happen.  I just lack the initial idea.  Pinterest gives me the idea/ inspiration and my genes make it actually possible.  Here are some great ideas I have found on Pinterest that I think would be fun for our little one to have.  I like the idea of our Little Man growing up with home-made toys as well as a few must-have fad toys as well.  Click each picture for the instructions.

Cheers!
