Summer 2014 - Day 6 & 7

Monday, June 23rd - Day 6
What a busy day!  I decided to treat Ryan to a morning at Defy Gravity (a trampoline park in Durham).  He was very excited to jump:

Waiting for the fun to begin!

We started our jump hour by jumping into the pit:

Ryan liked the pit but got frustrated with it after awhile - it's hard work to get out of it over and over again!  We spent the rest of the hour bouncing around the different areas of the building and having fun.  Ryan LOVES to bounce (he's logged many many hours in his bounce house and still wants to bounce it in regularly) and had so much fun - lots of smiles and laughs :)  And yes, I think I had juuuust as much fun as he did :)

Ryan was on the move for the entire hour - hardly stopped, just kept bouncing or running around.  So cute!

After our hour at Defy Gravity, we went to the pool, where Ryan showed off his "swimming" in the little pool.  His "swimming" consists of dragging himself around the pool using his hands, never putting his head under water.

He did venture out to the big pool though and we went into deeper waters (only because the basketball goal was in the deeper area).  I love that he's gotten pretty comfortable in the water with us only going to the pool for the past month!

After his nap, we went back to the pool for a little bit so Joe could enjoy some pool time, too.  After dinner, we all enjoyed some ice cream - some of us more than others!

Tuesday, June 24th - Day 7
One whole week!  I can't believe I've finished one full week of summer so far!  Ryan woke up this morning and wanted to build towers and trains immediately (one of his favorite tasks these days):

After we got ready for the day and ate breakfast, we went over to my parents' house to celebrate my mom's birthday (which is really on the 25th).  We played nerf basketball over there for a bit and watched part of the England vs. Costa Rica World Cup game.  We then took a quick trip to Target, came home, ate lunch, built some more towers, raced some cars, and then Ryan took his afternoon nap (almost 2 and a half hours - remember when he used to not nap at all when he was an infant?? Yeah, he's a champ napper now!).  We read some books and built more towers until Joe finished work.  All in all, not a super eventful day today, but still loads and loads of fun!  I could get used to this!
