(still) Summer!

Our summer is fading fast. Dax's naptimes have transitioned from my relaxing and cleaning time to schoolwork prep time (so much for my dream of going back to school with a clean house, ha!). Even though it is August and this special time is quickly coming to a close, Dax and I are still making the most of the time we do have. Check out some of the fun we have had the past couple of weeks:

We visited Wood Lake Nature Center. Dax loved all of the live and stuffed animals inside and enjoyed dancing on the stage outside.

Looking at the turtles

The turkeys in our yard run away from Dax so he loved this close-up view

One of the snakes shed it's skin while we were there

And then it was ready to play!

We have spent LOTS of time outside.

Bubbles are so fun!

Trying to pop it with his nose

Sliding with Daddy

Every once in awhile he'll still stop for a snuggle :)

Loving the digger at Chutes and Ladders

Still figuring out how to use a ladder

Rolling down the hill with Grandpa at Mommy and Daddy's soccer game

This is more fun!

Peek-a-boo!

Playing with the nearby loaders

He insisted on wearing the helmet- I suppose we can't start practicing safety too soon!

Dax helped Mommy with some school shopping.

And we visited the MN Landscape Arboretum.

Looking at tadpoles - some of them were growing legs!

I couldn't resist adding a flashback to last summer at the arboretum!
