Summertime

And the livin' is easy...

 

Bears is really enjoying this summer.  Especially since he's big enough this year to beat the heat by playing in his swimming pool.

He's also gotten really into playing basketball this year.  And by that I mean that every time he sees the basketball he yells "BA!! BA BA BA!!" and then runs around in circles with it.

He was pretty pumped about this fire hydrant and kept giving it hugs.  I like to think that he thought it was a fellow baby who just happened to be in some sort of red space suit.

Lately he's been really into getting out onto this tarp that our landlord has set up in the backyard. It's especially great after a rainstorm when the dips in the tarp have filled up with water, leaves, and bugs.

Here he is about to take a drink out of the band aid-ridden water.  It was a close call but I intervened just in time.  I suppose I ought to mention that it was his band aid from earlier that day...even though that makes for a much less exciting tale.

Often times he enjoys just sitting and hanging out.  For up to 30 seconds at a time.

And of course he enjoys hangin' out with the Kins.
