Bear Box Surprise!

Ben wanted to go inside of this "Bear Box" (basically a big garbage bin) at the store today. I never pass up the chance to put Ben in a confined area, so I complied. Who ever though he would be this cute and have so much fun in a garbage bin?

Gooses

We tried to pet some Geese today. That didn't work out so well, but we had fun trying!

Yeah, Ben's Driving

We picked up this electric car last year at a garage sale because Ben just liked climbing in and out of it. Last month I finally bought a battery for it and Ben picked up driving like he's been doing if for years. So now when we're at the Pocono house, we drive to the playground and to the lake while I jog behind him just to keep up. I make sure that he stops at every stop sign and pulls over to the side of the road when a car is coming and Ben makes sure to aim for the muddy puddles, of course. He's pretty popular around the playground when he pulls up in his car. We have a hard time keeping all the other kids away!

Ben the Builder

Ben's been going around the house and at daycare 'fixing' things a lot lately, so Jill bought him a tool belt and hardhat and to say he likes it is an understatement. We even went next door to fix some things at "Nona's" house. He's obviously taking after his Daddy...

Ben's New Bike

Ben got a chance to try out his new balance bike today that he got for his birthday! It's just a matter of time before that bike is a motorcycle...

Happy 3rd Birthday Ben!

Ben is 3 today! Hurray! He had a great day today with probably too much cake and candy, but hey, you only have a birthday once a year... And how can you resist such a cute face!

Water Boy

What better way to cool off on a hot day than by playing in the water. A new 'spray park' opened up by us recently and it doesn't matter if you don't have a bathing suit, or a towel, or a change of clothes, as long as you're having fun!
