As a kick-off to summer, we had a guest at the house for 2 nights and 3 days; Bridger. It was Connor's week to be at his Mom's, but he wanted to get in on the amazing fishing we've been having lately. Of course, Ramsey was excited to see his "brother from another mother" - it had been quite some time since we'd seen him.
On the first evening, while "the big boys" did this:
The little boys did this:
They ran around the yard playing tag, played on the swings, and playset. I needed to get some things done in the house, so I stayed put.
The next day, while I worked, the boys ran around the house (it sounded like a herd of elephants!), watched YouTube, took Riggsy outside, and did a little gaming.
It was getting loud in the house, so I kicked them out onto the deck. Ramsey wanted bubbles, so that's what they got!
Bubble Time was good for about an hour, so we'll call that success!
I'm not sure which kiddo got more excitement out of it.
Ramsey found it more fun to chase the giant bubbles and try to pop them with his foam mace.
After Ramsey went to bed, Connor took Julia (his girlfriend) and Bridger out to fish more. They caught a ton more fish. Bridger was proud to have reeled in this big white bass:
And of course, Connor got to clean everyone's catches! He said he didn't get much time to actually cast, since he was constantly adding minnows to Julia's and Bridger's poles. The fish were biting like mad that evening.
The next day after work, I decided Ramsey and Bridger needed to get some fresh air, so I took them to the walking trail by our place. I was in dire need of getting out of the house as well!
Ramsey stopped a few times to blow bubbles with his bubble sword.
And we had to have a pic on the bench just off the point.
We might stick to the roads for future walks. When we returned, I picked ticks off of the boys and Riggs for a while. Or, perhaps next time, they will heed my warnings and not roll around in the tall grass or hide underneath the cedar trees. ;-)
