One of the Boys favorite things to do

Again here are some pictures of the boys playing at the park. This is one of their favorite things to do with Al. It always amazes me what they come up with to play. They are quit imaginative and Al is right along with them. This is one of the traits he had to develop as an only child growing up that has come in handy as a dad.

Ben's Field Day

Here are a few pictures of Ben's field day at Rum River. I was able to go see him do all of the events and he had a really good time! It is always fun to see the boys do things that I remember doing myself as a child. It just makes me feel very old. It is also amazing to sit back and watch him interact with his friends and teachers. He is growing into an amazing young man.

Ben's Mo-hawk

At Ben's school they had wacky hair day. So I asked if he wanted to participate. They had done this at CHA, but he did not want to get made fun of so he chose to not participate. This time he said yes, he did want to participate. So we started the mo-hawk. I kept making sure he wanted me to continue and he continued to say yes. Here is our process and the end result. It even stayed up the whole day! He was very proud that his was the tallest in his class.
