My main goal this summer is to spend as much time outside as possible. Since arriving it has been mostly overcast with a bit of rain. Today the sun played peek-a-boo, but it never got above 60 degrees. After 3ish hours in the park with friends we spent the afternoon at home. After dinner we set out for our new favorite exploration spot... Cuddy Park.
One can't thoroughly explore without the proper gear...
BOOTS!
This one loves adventures as much as his brothers do and gets real cranky if he doesn't get some outside time.
The boys had to get in some serious play time before these storm clouds rolled in.
A good spy must know how to blend in with his surroundings... and pee without anyone seeing his 'privacy' (as he calls it).
These secret agents had to pass a series of booby traps and tests to prove their worthiness.
This park is also frequented by migrating geese and it takes some skill to navigate around their deposits.
Ahhhhhhhh-- the sweet smile of success!
Sometimes the boys threw flowers...
and sometimes BIG rocks.
Just when Ethan thought he'd dodged the last booby trap he got a surprise and rolled down all the rocks on the bank.
This scrape (soon to be black eye), as well as others on his elbow and back, were nice additions to the massive goose egg on the back of his head thanks to his brother walloping him with a stick earlier in the day.
He is seriously one tough (and totally filthy) cookie!
