Finally, Some Cooler Weather

This week is Fire Prevention Week. Home Depot had some extra activities during their monthly Kids Workshop. Boogs really enjoys going to the workshops and building something new. This Saturday he built a wooden rescue plane.

Boogs was able to talk with a police officer and several firemen while looking at a police cruiser and a fire truck.

Inside Home Dept, there was a little course set up for the kids to play a few holes of mini-golf, bean bag toss into a ghost's mouth, and football toss. Boogs had really good aim.

Boogs had a very full Saturday. Saturday afternoon, I took Boogs to a friend's birthday party at a jumpy house. Then in the evening, my nephew came over to watch Boogs while my husband and I went to a Texas Stars hockey game. My nephew played Skylander and Mario Cart with Boogs before putting him to bed. Boogs told me he would love to have J babysit anytime.

We have been staying inside in the air conditioning quite a bit lately. Pool season has ended but the temperatures have still been hitting the 90s most days. Saturday evening a cold front blew through and dropped the temperatures into the 60s. Boogs and I took advantage of the cool weather and went for an early Sunday morning walk on the hike and bike trail. He started the walk with a lightweight jacket and then asked if we could go back to the car for his fleece lined jacket because it was too cold.

We have a lovely hike and bike trail a short drive from our house. The trail goes for miles and miles and connects several parks to each other. Boogs and I walked about four miles on the trails with stops to splash in puddles, play in the sandbox, look for fish, climb, and play on the playscape.

  

One part of the trail has several chin-up bars. Boogs and I tried to see how long we could hang upside down without hands. I won!

I had to talk Boogs out of burying himself in the sand. The sand was wet and cold. He made a few sand castles before we got back on the trail.

We ended our weekend with a fire blazing on the back porch while we ate dinner. Of course we had to have roasted marshmallows for dessert!

Boogs said he wants to have more weekends like this one. With cooler weather on the way, I am looking forward to getting back outside and exploring more with Boogs.
