When it came time for the mower to appear, William George took a break from playing and retrieved his mower with lightning speed. He insisted on following Skip around the yard (at a safe distance).
After church Sunday, we went to a local park where our city was celebrating the 111th birthday of a local statue. Or, as Gracie said, "We're here for a statue's birthday party?" Once she realized there were activities and other fun to be had, she no longer cared that we were celebrating an inanimate object
Fun fact about Skip: he loathes the vinyl Pepsi sign in the below photo. The owner of the building could no longer afford to maintain the lighted sign (I don't recall now... but something like $12k per month, maybe?) and covered it with vinyl. Why, oh why, did they not just let the sign go dark?
After bouncing, William George spotted a fire truck, so the trio climbed aboard for a tutorial.
George wanted to take it for a spin but would not get in the driver's seat without Lauren. "Come on, Yu-Yu, get in!"
After a picnic (hurray for food trucks!), we spotted a box turtle who was visiting from the zoo. Again, George wanted to go, but wanted back up. When Lauren declined, Gracie bravely stepped up to help.
During the reptile portion, he was largely on his own while I used the zoom lens from a distance. "Why don't you put it down?" George kept asking. Fortunately, the reptile was closely guarded because George was wearing his grab-and-go expression that he often uses when playing with toys.
How was your weekend?
