Playing games

Bryce and Bray have alot of fun together.  Bray started to "feed" Bryce some play food and thought this was just too funny!

Walking

Brayden is making alot of progress with walking since he got his braces.  He walks all around the house now, pivoting, turning, and feeling pretty proud of himself.  We are proud of him too!

Goldfish

Brayden loves getting into cupboards.  Today he found one of his favorite treats in the cupboard....goldfish!  He saw me coming to clean up the goldfish and he started eating them as fast as he could.  This reminds me of another little boy who spilled m and ms at this age and ate them as fast as he could when he saw mom coming to clean them up :)

The tunnel

Bryce and Bray love this tunnel we got them.  They chase each other in and out of the tunnel for hours!

On the news!

Bryce and Samuel got taped for a newscast while playing mini-golf at Harris Hill! 

Aunt Katie and Bray


 Aunt Katie was making Bray laugh while we watched Uncle Damian, Bryce and Samuel play mini-golf at Harris Hill.


Harris Hill

Bryce and Samuel are riding the whip-it at Harris Hill!

Martha's dandee creme


Just before leaving lake George to head back home we visited Martha's dandee creme for some ice cream.  The boys loved the ice cream.  Bryce had been taking pictures of us all vacation and wanted to take one last picture of mom and dad before we left to go home :)

Minnie ha-ha

We went on the 1 hour minnie ha ha cruise on Lake George.  Bryce took some pictures, chatted with the couple sitting next to us, and enjoyed a ring pop from the on board store.  Bray watched the water for a while and then wanted to explore the whole boat.

More fun in lake George






The boys enjoyed going on bike rides in Lake George as well as visiting the beach.  Bryce's favorite activity was mini golf.  We went to the Fun Spot, Pirate's cove, and Gooney golf.  I don't think he ever got tired of playing.

Outdoor fun






We went to the beach and playground quite a bit on vacation...and dad got to go fishing while the boys and I relaxed.  Bryce wasn't too sure about touching the fish that dad caught though :)

Lake George


After visiting Ticonderoga we stayed on Lake George for a few more days.  The boys enjoyed the balcony in our room.  Bray tried many times a day to get out there to enjoy the outdoors!

The Great Escape








Bryce and Bray both loved the Great Escape.  We went with our friend Heather and had lots of fun.  Bryce's favorite rides were the race cars and kiddie roller coaster.  Bray seemed to like everything he went on :)  Bryce still has the map of the park and talks about it all the time!

Mount Defiance



We took Bryce and Bray to the top of Mount Defiance.  Bryce thought it was neat that you could see the Fort from all the way on top of the mountain.

The Windchill


After visiting Fort Ticonderoga we took the boys to the Windchill factory for lunch and ice cream.  Bryce was thrilled with the outdoor seating and its close proximity to the woods.  He kept climbing this hill and shouting, "I bet you could see a deer in there mom, no joke!" Bray ate his fries but then got quite interested in the brochure for water slide world.

Fort Ticonderoga







We visited Fort Ticonderoga while on our vacation to the Adirondacks.  Bryce and Bray enjoyed looking around the King's Garden.  Bryce liked watching the musket firing demonstration.  When we left we visited the gift shop and Bray got a fun spinning light that kept him entertained in the car for a while.  Bryce was very excited when he found a snow globe with the fort inside.  He said now he could remember it forever :)

Fun

Bray thought it was so funny that Bryce was jumping off the couch.  These two love to laugh together!

Bray is walking again.

Bray is walking better every day.  We can't wait until he is running around with Bryce!

Table manners

Bray is still working on his table manners, but he loves sitting right up at the table with the rest of us.

Bryce

Bryce doesn't love having his picture taken so I take any picture I can get these days.  He tells me, "no pictures right now mom, I am exhausted from work!".  He told me he works as a zookeeper and then goes right to gymnastics class after that at 6...unless they reschedule for 10.  He has quite the imagination.

The ipad

Bray was unusually quiet this morning and when I went to check on him I realized he had gotten into the ipad and was looking at pictures!

Tickling

Bray likes to crawl under the recliner and reach up to tickle dad's feet. 

Helping with the laundry



Brayden decided to help mom with the laundry and did a good job emptying all the clothes from the basket!

Bray's first steps


Smores!


Bryce is enjoying a smore indoors thanks to a few rainy days this week. 

Silly faces


Bray will sometimes make a silly face where he closes his eyes and scrunches his nose up.  He thought that was so funny this morning during breakfast.

Our garden

Bryce loves to check on the status of the veggies in our garden...he helped pick and eat some radishes a few weeks ago and was thrilled when he saw the broccoli was ready to pick.  He is anxiously awaiting for the rest of the veggies to be ready to eat!
