Michael's Summer Break

Michael got a good few weeks off after the end of his 3rd year before he started his 4th year. It was almost all of May.  We didn't travel anywhere because we are trying to save the money for moving at the end of August, but we had a lot of fun! We tried new restaurants, hung out with friends went to so many parks and other places around town. We grilled and I mean we grilled a lot! Our favorite neighbor told us if we bought briquettes we could use her grill. So we did! We played outside nearly everyday that it wasn't stormy. Which wasn't a lot! Of course we took some fun pictures!

Botanical gardens a few times:

Overton park

Shelby farms

Picnic at Shelby farms

We had a great time with Dad at home.... So sad that hes going to be gone for about 10-11 hours a day now. :(

Trolley Ride

One thing on our list of things to do before we leave was to ride the river front loop on the trolley! It goes along the Mississippi river and some of the hip part of town. The loop was about 30 mins, but it was fun to see that part of town not being congested with traffic! Of course we took pictures:

 Trolley selfie, the boys were still just fascinated with everything. haha

 Memphis bridge and Mississippi river, with chubby little fingers.

 I think this picture is my favorite!

  just being silly

The inside! we where all by ourselves for part of the ride.

Brock kept saying Choo choo for a good part of the ride, heres a little video:

Mischief or Messes....

Not as much mischief as last month but you could consider this Month as MESSES. Lots and lots of messes!

 Dumping out juice

 Play sand.. ok this is a controlled mess.

 He was also play crying....

 Oh cute boy!

Cheesing

This was when I was walking....

Will Dumped the food on himself.

Taking a bite of every single apple setting it down around him and getting another one out.

He dumped his juice out and is slurping it up.....

Brock was so nice and fed Will this plant.

One of our sleepless days Will fell asleep eating.

Covered in dust..... of course!

Standing BY HIMSELF!

One of our fun walks. Brock is saying Hi to all the rocks. Sliding down the driveway. Jumping into bushes. and Running with a leaf in his mouth.

Sitting on Will.

Laying on Will....

Feeding Will his strawberries!

playing in the Mud.....

Throwing Dirt! of course!!

Oh the Messes! At least they had fun right?
