Two Days of Summer

So, we finally had a couple of really nice weather days this week. Hyrum and I took advantage of it and played outside on the park. He loves swinging!

Our friends Stacy and Bud got Hyrum an early birthday present that he can enjoy over the summer. They decided to give it to him now because by the time his birthday gets here in September the weather will start getting bad. (not that it's not bad already with all of the rain and it's still cool out when its cloudy and rainy)

I just had to take pictures of Hyrum on his new bike. He is soo cute on it. This bike is really neat. It has a parent handle bar so that we can stroll him around. When the parent handle bar is on, you get to steer the bike and everything. Once the little ones legs are long enough and strong enough you can easily take the parent handle bar off and it becomes a regular tricycle that he can ride on his own.

Hyrum loves the bike.! He put his helmet on and off all day around the house, waiting for the time to go ride comes around.

Last night he rode his bike around for about 15min, then we played on the playground for about 25/30min.. he never wants to stop swinging. He is quite the outdoors little boy.!

Weeee!

Memorial Day weekend, was wet and rainy as usual here in the great NorthWest. We wanted to go to the Seattle folk life Festival that weekend but I didn't want to have Hyrum out in the wet rain for that many hours.

So to get out of the house and do something, we ended up at the Family Fun Center in Tukwila. They have a few outdoor rides and activities to do and have a huge indoor arcade and laser tag.

Of course, the big hit if the days was the go carts. Marvin loved being able to 'drive' for his first time. Ricky was able to convince the guy running the go carts to let Hyrum ride as his passanger.

Hyrum absolutley LOVED it. In the video below he has the biggest smile on his face. So cute. Thought I'd share. enjoy.

Ricky and Marvin decided to ride this ride that swing you back and forth and goes higher and higher throughout the ride. I recorded it.. Marvin got kudos after getting off. I refused to ride it.

When Marvin and Ricky walked out of the gate Marvin had a single tear smeared across his face. He said that he "got something in his eye." haha. totally not the case. But he was brave and did it!

CAUTION: This video will most likely make you dizzy!
