Yesterday we spent the afternoon at our friends Russell and Laurie's house. It was scorching hot so we were pretty much in the pool the entire time we were there. I didn't even have time to snap a picture of Reed in his adorable navy polo shirt and red, white, and blue plaid shorts, as soon as we got to their house the Kiddo wanted to swim. He spent a lot of time with Mom, Dad, and Auntie "C" in the pool, but by far his favorite person of the day was Tio. Drew played with him in an inflatable tube that was decorated like a donut, did big tosses in the air with him, and at the end of the night introduced him to a summer classic - the Slip 'n Slide. Reed would lay on his belly and hold out his hand, then Tio would hold his hand run 10-15 feet and let Reed go, launching Reed down the rest of the slide. The Munchkin was so tired by the end of the night he had his eyes half closed for the three minute drive home, but I think he would have kept playing with Drew for hours if I would have let him.
This morning we continued our fun week by heading up to my Grandparents' ranch. One of their cows had a calf a while back and we finally found a day that worked to go see the little guy. We picked Grandma up on the way and Grandpa met us up at their house too. We went inside for a bit and Reed played with an antique coffee grinder, much like the one I used to play with at their house when I was little, read some books with Great Grandma Didi, and had a snack. Pretty soon he was demanding to "see animals!" We obliged and headed down the hill to the pen Great Papa Dean had corralled them in. Reed had fun checking out Grandpa's truck and then ran over to see the cows. He was enthralled with them and kept wanting to get closer (while holding Grandma's hand of course).
