Elias’ Summer Turn


Elias had lots of fun at his summer turn with G&G. Legos and cousins…

Water play…





Playing Mass…



Baking and cooking!
Hockey!


County Fair


Everyone enjoyed seeing their entries at the county fair with G&G!

Lewis entered coasters and banana bread. 



Augustine entered legos and a red/white/blue creation. 





Elias entered a painting and a drawing. 


Levi’s Ideas


To see you the tv better with, my dear. 

He was insistent that he could give the big boys plane rides. 



He played truck and trailer for a week straight. 

He packed for a picnic at Holmes Lake

Levi: Oh! I need a drink. We have to do that every day so we do not get the tubes. We do not want to get the tubes. We want to stay home and go night night.
(The dehydration and ending up in the hospital for four days life lesson sank in deep.)

We had many picnics. 



He discovered the musical marble run. 
Levi: where is it?! Where is it mommy?! I can’t see the moon. Where is it?!

All the maps

Napping with sunglasses, of course. 

Exploring

We suddenly have 7-10 therapy sessions a week again, so we’ve been waiting around a lot during sessions. We found a fun green space to explore during speech. 

We tried out our sing swing for the first time and it was not designed long enough but it was still fun!

Levi has discovered maps and likes to draw them everywhere. He drew them in the sand with a stick. 

Lewis fed spiders. 

And played in a tiny puddle of water with Levi. 

Station 1


After 2 years of missing it, Covid didn’t stop us from doing our annual fire station tour this year. The boys chose Station 1 again because it has poles and a museum. 

Unfortunately, 5 minutes into our tour they got a call and said it would be a while so we left. 

We went back a week later and got a full tour…mostly of trucks because that’s the coolest part. 

The fire fighters were awesome! They were so happy to see us and spend time with my boys. 









They let the boys do so many things…like crazy stuff! They each got to turn the truck on and off. 

They learned how to turn the lights on and off. 


They let the boys put the stabilizers out!











They let the boys go up on the truck deck and operate the ladder!









Then they taught them how to put the ladder back down and put the stabilizers back. 

It was by far the coolest experience at the fire station yet!
