LEGO Mania

Everyone here loves building and creating.  Currently the media of choice is LEGOS.  Eamon has quite a few sets that he received for his birthday including two Star Wars sets from Craigslist.  He loves building with them.  Aine enjoys building with the plain blocks creating houses, buildings and vehicles.  Benton grabs for the Duplos and builds large towers which he can then knock down.  They will often be found with their heads together creating LEGO masterpieces.

Hiking

We headed out to Usery Park for a ranger led hike. We were a little late, as the kiddos had to have their picture taken on the rock at the start of the path. After posing, the kids just ran up to meet the group. The ranger discussed the Sonoran desert, snakes, pack rats and a few other animals. She was impressed with Eamon's and Aine's knowledge.

Concentration

Enjoying the Weather

After Benton and Aine had their hair cut, we headed to a park we used to frequent quite often. They loved playing on the super swing and searching out a little mud.

Aine has almost mastered the monkey bars.

Benton is always fearless. Climbing to the top of structures and defying his age at every turn.
