A Boy and His Turtles

Levi and I took our lunch to the zoo. Why? Because we can!

 For a week now he’s been asking me, “When da big boys doh to sool it dust be lew and me?” Yes, Levi. Just you and me keeping it simple and making it to speech and OT on time with no one else in tow. 

He couldn’t get enough of the waterfall. He’d never played in it before. 



We do the river first so that by the time we finish walking the zoo he’s no longer dripping wet for the ride home. 

This was a big deal. He has always wanted to see a turtle getting a drink but never has…until now. Usually he yells at the turtles, “Get a drink! Get a drink!”



“Dis is my faveet (favorite)”



“You detting stuck. Turn awound. Don’t bam lew face.”

East Campus Street Fair


The East Campus street fair is a new favorite. It’s our second year going and it did not disappoint! Cool experiments, big raffles, trinkets and toys, lots of nice students and professors who are happy to see kids. 



We learned a lot of cool facts about wind turbines.

And honey extraction.










The big boys loved the air rifles. 



And Augustine tried his hand at lassoing. 







Looking forward to next year!

Back to School Night

We dropped off supplies, saw all the building improvements, and met teachers. It’s going to be a great year!

Elias was inducted into kindergarten!

He’s now an eagle in the nest.





On the way out there was a big table of free books and such. We found this awesome mirror! I’ve been wanting a mirror for the playroom for two years now. 



It’s lots of fun!


One Last Adventure


We took one last spontaneous summer family adventure to Platte River State Park. 



It’s definitely our favorite park!
