Basketball Night

I couldn't decide on which pictures to put up on the blog tonight, so I have a few entries. These are two of my favorite pictures even though the quality isn't so good. Matt had a basketball game at our church so Gavin and I tagged along. Unfortunately Gavin pretty much screamed (literally) the entire time except for these few quick minutes. He wanted to play on the gym floor so badly, but he would've gotten trampled...so that turned into a full on wrestling match between the two of us. But during "half time" he was able to get out there and play some basketball with his Dad. Which I have to say was one of the cutest things I've ever seen. And it made me forget about how rotten he was being just moments before...which I was quickly reminded of when it was time for the game to start back up. And the battle resumed. But I got two really cute pictures, that make two really cute memories for me out of it!

Hilarious!

I am so sad because I honestly cannot remember what I was doing to make him laugh so hard! They were those really good deep down in the belly laughs! I do remember it being hilarious and I was laughing just as hard on the other side of that camera. This kid is such a character! I just want to squeeze him...which I usually do.

And then you get this look thrown at you.

Cowboy Park

There is this cowboy/western themed park somewhat close to our house & the other day we decided to give it a shot. Gavin really liked it. Well, most of it. He enjoyed the swings as always and all the rocks and dirt. The giant windmill though...that was the highlight of our little adventure. Gavin was so intrigued by it spinning around and around. The wind has been picking up quite a bit here so that thing was going the entire time. There was a bridge there also that he decided he enjoyed walking across & then he thought he was hilarious crawling across it...that is until he face planted and then that bridge was no good!

Don't let those slides fool you! It may look like it's all fun & games on those death traps, but we walked out of that park with so many scrapes and bumps. They go super fast so you can't stop yourself at the end so you just fly right on off! And then they you feel like one of those balls in a pinball machine all the way down. Afterwards your hips, head and arms are all beat up. Poor Gavin he wasn't really feeling the slides either. Which was fine with us because niether one of us wanted to go down anymore. We're still feeling the "fun" from those slides. So as long as you avoid the slides at this park it's pretty awesome.

Like Father, Like Son

I'm pretty sure that Gavin has already surpassed his Dad's skateboarding skills.
