The Allisons

Mike is going camping (recreationally) with some guys from work on Friday night. He set up the tent in the backyard to air it out, and as you can imagine the boys loved it. Ezra kept running back and forth and flopping on the ground--he thought it was a bounce house.

Here I tried to use the timer. This was the best of the ones I was able to take before the bees starting getting angry. Ezra is deathly afraid of the big bumblebees so he wasn't wanting to sit by the bush where they were congregating. Jonas just wanted to crawl into the bush and eat the bees, so he was just as unhappy to be posing in front of it. Not the mention is was about 7:30am. Too early for smiles.

This video is just Jonas playing in the dirt of our recently cleared out and groomed flower bed. Toward the end, Ezra joins him and Ezra says "dirt". Not phenomenal considering he should probably be saying sentences like "I like to play in the dirt", but progress for Ezra nontheless.

Jonas is kind of working out of a morning nap. If he takes one, it's very short, but on this day, he skiped it all together. You can see by lunch he was VERY tired. Watch all the way to the end (or about 10 seconds from the end).
