The End of July

I posted a few new pics in the July photo album.  Mac fell AGAIN running down the driveway (I really wish I had some glamorous reason for him falling, but I do not) and got another set of double owies on his knees.  As sad as we were for him (and yes, we really did feel his pain), Nicki and I couldn’t stop from chuckling at his ‘pain dance’ and are very upset we didn’t get it on film.  I did, however, get a sequence of pictures that show you the following moments…

Nicki summed it up and said, you just have to see it in person to truly understand how absurd (she was kind and didn’t use this word) it is!

We also braved the heat one afternoon and took the kids to ‘Kids’ Day’ at the county fair.  I think Matthew’s days in the kiddie land are numbered, but my boys still had a blast!  Patrick got to fly in a plane!  There is a good reason why he’s facing backwards…really!  Mac and Matthew were in the plane behind him and we wanted him to be able to see them, thinking it would set him at ease.  However, once the ride started, he forgot about them and just tried to turn around.  So, we felt bad in the end, but see?  We had a good reason! 🙂  Click on the picture to see a few more.

And finally, one more video from the pool!  Mac has conquered one more thing, the big slide!  After numerous trips up the many stairs, just to walk back down them, too afraid to go down the slide (sometimes he even stood at the opening of the slide, then backed out), he finally can do it!  This video is more for Daddy.  Mac really wanted to show Daddy that he did it. 🙂  Here is what the slide looks like as you walk up!  Much more intimidating in person, especially if you’re a four year old. 🙂
