Climber

It's barely 8 am and someone has found a perch in a tree. I think we'll need to join a climbing gym.

A little sun time

Bennett has been very busy this weekend at Oma's and Grandpa's.

He likes helping with the yard chores.

Sleepy

This was on the way home from the park on Sunday. A very tiring day for the little guy.

Timmy

One of Bennett's friends had to take a bath this weekend. Luckily, the sun was so bright he got to dry in the back yard!

Unplugged but tuned in

This is how Bennett and I spent the afternoon. Sitting in the back of our station wagon watching the man across the street mow his lawn. Delightful.

Today's adventures

This morning, we went to Lockport. There we saw the most incredible engineering feat of its time, the "Flight of Five" locks that raise and lower the Erie Canal allowing large boats to travel up river an elevation that changes 565 feet. Absolutely amazing! We also wandered through a tunnel that was made at the same time to provide hydro power to at least two factories by the canal.



Then we had lunch at a great little diner in town. After that, we stopped by the Lake Effect ice cream scoop shop to pick up a couple pints of creamy goodness. Bennett slept the whole way home and we left him snoozing in the car when we got home. We had a great time chatting on the front lawn waiting for him to wake.



For dinner tonight, we tried out a new to us place in Williamsville called The Eagle House. Delicious! But before and after our meal we spent some time at Island Park. Everyone had fun!!

First lesson on knots

Picking his prize

We have this lilac bush that is old a decrepit. It spits out about ten blooms a spring. Daddy-o showed Bennett how to harvest the blooms today.

At the park again

I love warm weather. What do I love even more??? My little guy greets me everyday when I get home with these words, "We can go outside, Mama?!?!"

Weekend

We had so much fun enjoying the sun this weekend that I forgot to take many photos. This is at our neighborhood school which has the best playground!

Hungry

We went out to dinner the other night while Brian was in London for his interview at Western. Bennett ordered his own turkey burger. And then he actually ate it!

Imagination

Today was a day filled with imaginative play. Bennett was a fire fighter, a puppy wrangler, a car fixer and a fisher man. Daddy-o, Bennett made and cast his first fishing pole today. I think he thinks he's ready for some time on the river.
