Making a splash!

We spent the first weekend of June at an indoor water park just north of Chicago with the Olsta clan.  Clayton loved spending time with his older cousins and had a BLAST in the water.  The place had an arcade too.  No - we didn't pay for him to actually play, but Clayton just loved "driving" the cars.

This is a sky view of the main little kid pool.  

Longing to be in the water.

Clayton spent hours in the water going down slides on his own (ok - Daddy was at the top and I was at the bottom, but he was alone in the middle!).  

The blur half-way down the slide is Clayton.

Taking a little rest.  He refused to nap in the portable crib.

We spent a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon at an indoor Bocce Ball/Bowling place for Grandma Olsta's 90th Birthday party.  Here is Ryan with the boys.  The most common phrases out of Clayton's mouth all weekend wwere either "Where Gavin go?" or Where Blake go?" He just wanted to be with the big kids.

Back at home, Clayton continues to love playing outdoors.  He recently discovered his shadow and is continuing to practice "jumping."  Not a lot of air under there.

 Ryan almost got his long-time wish for Father's Day.  Clayton is starting to be interested in playing catch.  No, no need for a glove yet, but he's starting to get the ideas.

It was sunny on our drive to Church yesterday.  Clayton didn't want to take his sunglasses off afterwards.  Here he is, quite the cool cat, with his glasses and his "book."  

The best part was when he yelled "all done!" in the middle of the sermon!  Oh well, at least he's cute enough to get away with it.
