With all of the park adventures it's no wonder that Ezra also hit 100 words in his vocabulary this week, and is now well on his way to more. He's picking up words as quickly as he picks up trash (if anyone wants a trash helper, Ezra is your man), which is really quickly in case you were wondering. Micah, meanwhile, is learning how to "tease" and now likes to say funny phrases followed by "Mama, I'm just teasing you!" It's pretty hilarious. Between the sunshine, warm weather, and my joking/talking boys, it's been a fun week!
The weather has finally turned gorgeous and we took full advantage by going on a tour of some of the area parks over the course of the week. I definitely have to give Dayton some credit for having some wonderful (and all free!) parks. Thursday we hit up The Children's Discovery Garden with some neighborhood friends of ours. It was still a bit early in the season for the gardens to be in full swing, but we had fun at the sand tables, in the musical garden, finding the "hidden" bench, and exploring the "caves". On Saturday, the boys and I headed over to Carriage Hill Metropark to check out the farm animals. We got to see the big pigs, sheep, goats, cows, horses, and donkeys. The sheep were very friendly! Micah insisted he heard ducks and wanted to try to find them over by the lake, so we looked for them there. No luck, but they had fun walking on the docks over the water! Monday brought a day off for Matt, so we took the boys down to Caesar Creek State Park. This was a new park for us and we had a great time! It was very pretty with lots of water (big lake and lots of creeks/streams). It also has a very large dam that Micah and Matt ran down the side of for fun. Micah thought it was hilarious! Finally on Wednesday the boys and I joined a Hike it Baby (a local hiking group that hosts hikes around the city) toddler hike at Grant Park. There were lots of toddlers to hike with and the hike ended at a creek... Let's just say the boys were in heaven. Ezra just wanted to throw rocks in the creek, and Micah wanted nothing more than to swim and get sopping wet. Mission accomplished. We even got to watch a pick up truck and a front loader drive across the ford of the stream on their way to clear some of the forest. Let's just say the backseat was nice and quiet for the ride home after all of that adventure!

What fun reading and watching the boys enjoy their trips to the many parks. Ezra is looking more like a three year old and Micah more like a five year old. I am guessing that the stream water was cold when they were wading. Keep up the updates! We love them!G' Grammy & G' Pawpaw R.
