Our adventures began on Friday at the dentist, of all places. The Little Outdoorsman's first dentist appointment was a success, to my relief. The pediatric dentist we chose made him feel so comfortable. I mean, the hygienist made a balloon animal at the end of the appointment. Oh how times have changed!
One adventure conquered, we looked to the next- our camping trip out West. We've been preparing Reed (and me) by setting up the tent in the backyard and cooking over a campfire. Next step- some hiking clothes! He looks so darn cute!
I think we have him all ready for the trip! We let him test out his new boots at the county fair last night.
He takes the fair VERY seriously. One does not wear just any old shirt to the fair, of course.
We met up with his cousin, Matt, and looked at some goats and cows. I love watching these two together!
Summer is always better with a friend.
We looked at all the rides and chose to do the big slide. I loved that the height restrictions required me to ride with him! I'm trying not to think about how much longer he will need me to do stuff like this with him. He's just getting so big so quickly! Sniffle.
We ended the night by watching tractor pulls. It was my first time watching a tractor pull (Reed's, too), and it was INTENSE. Loud noise, smoke, and shouting from the crowd scared TLO a little. We stayed for a few pulls and headed home, where I complained about my aching feet to all who would listen (Oliver).
The adventures continue over the next few days! I'm so excited to soak up these last weeks of summer. I hope you do the same!
