Evan had a ball at the family reunion this year. He enjoyed playing with his cousins…especially Hunter. Evan spent a lot of time playing on the swing, in the sandbox, and “helping” his older cousins put up their tents.
After a long trip in the car with all the kids – we finally arrived in New Jersey tired but excited to see our family. We enjoyed spending time at the beach, with Uncle Mike and his family, Grandma M, Grandpa M, Aunt Jackie and her family, Aunt Kathy, and Uncle Jon and Aunt Rene.
Evan absolutely loved the ocean and went there with Amy and his cousins several days. (One day was enough for me) He really loved playing in the water, “surfing”, and digging holes in the sand. Needless to say, he is excited to go back next summer! Check out the photos from our trip to NJ.
On a recent trip in the car – I was drinking Mt. Dew which happens to be yellow (which happens to be Evan’s favorite color). He saw me drink it and then asked me a little later “Can I have some of that Mountain Goat to drink?” At least we had a good laugh.
We met Evan, my grandparents, and my mom at Penn State on our way east. Everyone enjoyed ice cream at the Creamery, staying at the Nittany Lion Inn and seeing all the typical Penn State places – Nittany Lion Shrine, Joe Paterno statue, and good ol’ McLanahans.
Evan flew to New York with Grandma Z to spend a little over a week golfing and eating at Elkdale, meeting new friends, meeting Aunt Terry, playing with Gaga and Papa, and having a great time “in the forest” aka Grandma’s house. He also enjoyed building a bird house, seeing some Alpacas, and even drinking some of Grandma Z’s perfume. A big thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Z for having Evan stay with them. Check out the photos from his trip to New York.
We signed Evan up for soccer a few weeks ago. After the second week – Evan could control the ball (reasonably), stop it with his feet, jump over it (two feet together) and more! He likes it and we enjoy watching him!
Evan has been learning the “Pledge of Allegiance” in one of his summer camps. On the way home I was going through it with him where I would say a line and he would repeat – and when we got to “One nation…” Evan said “One Asian” – and made both Amy and me laugh. Good job Evan.
Cora loves her shoes
She also tends to prefer them on opposite of the way you would put them on her feet. Regardless – if there are shoes around the house – there is a good chance Cora will find them and try and put them on…her hands. Early sign of a shoe fetish? We shall see…
Will and Cora have been really enjoying their birthday presents – especially this space ship that they can easily climb on, sit on, ride, and push. Check out pictures of the twins in action on this exciting toy as well as some other random June 2011 photos in the photo section.
It is funny to me to hear/see Evan’s thought process sometimes and this past weekend was one example:
Me: Evan we need to get the pool out of the shed.
Evan: What is a shed?
Me: Really Evan, you don’t know what the shed is?
Him: You mean the barn?
Me: Yes – the barn.
I loved that he thought our little 5×10 shed was a “barn”.
