Today, as we do on many days, Blanden, Belle, and I took a midmorning break to venture to our neighborhood park. We have heard from our cousins in Wisconsin that the heat has arrived there -- as it has here. During summertime in Colorado, it's best to enjoy being outside before it hits 90-plus -- and before the afternoon thunderstorms roll in.
Ah, water. If only we could actually swim in this lake; it looks inviting. But alas, even Belle is not allowed to swim in here, so we are content to be near it.
Snack time.
Even at the park, Belle is still a favorite toy. Blanden spent a good 20 minutes chasing her in circles around her leash and climbing on top of and over her. She won't tolerate that in the house, but today she was just content to be outside too.
I'm getting so big! Can you tell standing is a new favorite activity? :)
And, like a true toddler, he headed straight for the dirt. Look at those knees! The shoes and socks came off shortly thereafter, but not before they, too, needed a good washing when we got home.

Blanden,
I sware you have grown again, just since Grammy left Denver, which was just over a week ago! But, looks like you, Belle and Momma were having a fun trip to the park, do you think that maybe this weekend, Dad will go to?
Momma tells me that not only are you pulling yourself up to standing, using whatever support you can find, Belle included, but now you are doing a wee bit of walking, holding on to a hand? Bet you will be starting to take little baby steps on your own before we see you again.
Did Dad get home in time for bedtime stories tonight?
I need to write your mom a little "big person email", so I'll let you run off and play now.
Love,
Grammy
When did he turn into such a KID?!?!
