I really did not enjoy Spring this year. I was sicky pregnant, Ben was just plain sicky waaaay more than normal, and it was violently windy every day. But it is officially Summer in every way: the heater is off (yes, Southern friends, my heater runs for most of the year), the windows are open (no, Southern friends, I do not have air conditioning), my garden is struggling to produce veggies under my negligent care, and the grill is seeing a lot more action. I love Summer in Colorado.
And so does Ben:
 |
| What's not to love about ice cream cones on the back deck? |
 |
| And helping Daddy with yard work? (I'm willing to wager good money that his interest in lawnmowers disappears around the time he's old enough to use a real one.) |
 |
| And falling asleep in the hiking backpack? |
 |
| And $2 Mini Golf? |
|
|
|
 |
| And running through the sprinkler in your diaper? |
|

My little water baby especially loved that last activity. He took a break at one point and requested that I take his picture. However, he was too excited to be a good photo subject. He would say "cheese!" for about 0.5 seconds, run away around the time the camera clicked, look at the picture I took, and declare that he wanted a "gooder one." We made several attempts...
... before we ended up with one that I think is pretty gooder:
Happy Summer to you all!
