Fun in the Sun

Today was a fun day. We stayed at the Keatings last night because the construction in our house is getting finished. Then, today we headed to the air show in Sioux Falls. It was amazing! The Navy's Blue Angels performed which was great. The estimated crowd was over 100,000 people; that's almost the whole city. There were people everywhere. The only bad thing is that Jesse got over-heated and was in bed by 7. Hoping he feels better tomorrow =(Jesse and Maverick enjoying the show. That spec in the clouds is the Blue Angels. Actually, Maverick fell asleep about half way through the show which was crazy because it was so loud. Jesse was in heaven today looking at all the planes. He loves them. Plus, they were playing all of the music from Top Gun which made Maverick feel special!! Jennifer, I, and Maverick on the shuttle bus back to fairgrounds after the show. Whoever put the busing system together did an awesome job! We didn't have to worry about parking or walking for miles. It's still blows my mind that buses don't have seat belts. It seems so unsafe, and this is coming from a veteran bus rider...10+ years. Don't get me started or you'll have to listen to my pity party about having to ride the bus for hours a day as a child.
Maverick and Jesse.
Maverick is learning so much. He's trying to put on his shoes but doesn't quite get it yet. He'll do anything to get outside faster!
Look at these cuties!! Carlee and Cristian came and stayed last week. We went up to the farm for part of our stay. They are both so great with Maverick. I could handle having them around more often. They keep him so entertained!
Maverick is quite the gardner. He spent almost our whole 4 days at the farm in grandpa's garden. At one point, we didn't see him for 2 hours straight! He didn't come out at all!! He just had his coffee can and spoon. He and the kids had a restaurant going on in there I guess. They had a blast.
Wanting to figure out the shovel to dig up the onions and potatoes. Grandpa sent home lots of treats from his garden: potatoes, lettuce, beets, onions, carrots, yum, yum!
The first day at the farm was pretty chilly, but Maverick still made it outside. And, he found the rocks.
Taking a break and pulling on the rope of the wagon.
Of course, Maverick already walks around like he owns the farm. He goes here, there, everywhere. The farm is such a great place for him. There is dirt and rocks everywhere for him. What more could a boy want??
Oh, yeah, a brother...or sister! I know most everyone knows by now but thought I better get it on the blog for public record. Expected on or around Jan 18, 2010!!!
