On the way over to the railroad, Drew fell asleep with his hand still in his snack. He was wiped. He rarely misses a nap.Logan and Drew bunked up and they did pretty well together. They had a blast causing all sorts of trouble around the condo together.
Saturday morning we went to Story Land (or Book Land as Logan liked to call it). Some of the lines were a little too long for the kids, but they had a really great time. They got in a lot of great rides, but we definitely have more to see next time. Drew was exhausted! He started asking to go home and take a nap...this is unheard of! We pushed him a little bit more but then he fell and skinned his knee pretty good and he was DONE. I think it is ironic because the one time I went to Story Land as a kid, I fell and skinned my knee and was miserable. Harrison was an angel all weekend long. I think he was making up for cranky sick baby that he was last weekend.
All in all it was a fantastic weekend and we are so thankful for our great friends inviting us along!!
7/9 - Yay!! The rain stopped!! After a tornado warning on 7/8 that sent us to the basement for the afternoon, we had a beautiful day. Grandma came over and indulged Drew in his requests to "draw a train for me". She did a pretty good job without the daily dose of train exposure that I have. I have to admit that I am quite the pro at drawing Thomas now.
Nice weather for dining outdoors!
7/15 - Play date at our house with Jack, Macy, Jackson and Tyson. Tyson and Harrison were born on the same day in the same hospital. I think Tyson has a few lbs on Harrison though. Funny how we would never say that about an adult, but it is ok to say about a baby?
7/16 - We went to Fitchburg to visit the "Greats": Great Grandma and Grandpa and Great Uncle Joe (Godfather to Harrison). We had a nice visit, but it was shorter than I would have liked because Drew seemed to have lost his hearing on that day. It is tough to have a not listening 2 year old in a non-childproofed house with lots of nick-knacks. Hopefully we didn't cause too much havoc and we will be back for a visit again sometime soon.
Not Quite....
But Drew sure loved to give him kisses while he was in it and show him how to use all of the toys
.
7/17 - It was a rather warm day. We had gone to the playground in the morning and right before lunch Drew asked to use the sprinkler. I told him after his nap we could go in. When he woke up he didn't even have his eyes open yet and he said "we go in sprinkler now". He quickly learned that the water from the well is very cold. Lucy enjoyed it more than he did.
7/20 - What a perfect day! It was 80 degrees and the perfect day for a picnic. I decided to take the kids to Larz Anderson park for lunch and the playground. It is not the quickest trip, but worth it on a day like this. Drew loved walking around the pond and checking out the ducks. He had a lot of fun on the playground and then snuggled up next to me to eat his lunch. He slept very well this day, I had to wake him up at 4:15! 
7/21 - A rainy day, which was very disappointing. We had a photo party planned for today with 13 children!! We wanted to go outside, but plans changed. My house was a zoo!! Mainly because Drew gets so excited and worked up when people come over to visit. He was hard to keep up with. I didn't have a chance to pick up my own camera during the party, but I think all that would have come out would be blurry streaks of 2 year olds running around. The photos from today are of Drew's new bathing preference. He had been slightly uninterested in taking baths lately, so we decided to let him use the shower. It started that he would jump in with one of us (good chance for us to take one too!), but now he likes it every time. I should have known because doing something once with Drew is an exception; do it more than once and it is a habit. So now we let him use the shower and his favorite part is holding the sprayer. The biggest challenge is making sure he doesn't accidentally shoot the sprayer at us, which he did right after this photo. 
We spent a lot of time playing in the driveway and front yard. Drew loves to dig in the rocks.
Drew's cousin Ian was there for the weekend and Drew ran him ragged. Ian was such a good sport and Drew is still talking about him! He sure does love his cousin.

On Friday morning we went to the beach. We decided not to spend 30 minutes each way on the boat with the baby, so we drove to 
I got the 
On Saturday morning the boys (not including my babies) went fishing while Drew, Harrison and I played in the yard. I bought the Wiggling Water Sprayer months ago and we finally had a warm day to give it a try.
On Saturday afternoon we got Drew a kite and we tried desperately to get it up in the air.
