Big boys in the big pool

Max begged to "jump off my diving board",  even going so far as to wear his dreaded "bubble" (float), but instead of taking the leap he insisted that daddy do it.  He was quite entertained.  Max did go down the water slide, at lightening speed, on his belly.  Luckily after two times, he was done with that heart-attack inducing activity. 

Daddy did it!

Bagel dance

Max loves music, butter, bagels, and the bagel store- roughly in that order.


Max cannot wait to get into his swim lesson

Just waiting for the pool to open

Happy Birthday, America!

Max loves everything about Independence Day!

Stomping on Pop Pop Snappers 

The Great Falls parade- trucks, candy, balloons, and friends- what more could Max want?


Family fun day!

Max, his half-baked sibling, and mommy did the three-legged race.  We may not have won, but we stayed tied together the whole time- victory!

These firecrackers cannot get enough fireworks  

Shhhhhhhh Max

Stand back, boys!

Boooooom!

Luckily Max was not scared of the thunderstorm, in fact it entertained him.

Woah! 

Could there be a cuter camper?

"My summer camp"

Max walked mommy to "my summer camp" room this morning and showed her where he hangs his lunch box and backpack.  His teacher, Hanna, whom he adores, said he enjoyed the sports session and was surprised about how much he talked about basketball.  No one else is!:)

Can't wait to get to my summer camp!

Happy camper

Max started camp today, and although there were some tears at drop off, he had a fun and exhausting day.  Before he fell into a post-camp nap slumber, he said he wants to go back to his "summer camp" tomorrow.

Excited to bring his new lunchbox to camp

Post-camp adventure

Yum!

Cleaning off those sticky ice cream hands

Handsome [dare] devil

Max loves to show off his monkey tendencies by climbing up the slide.  However, once at the top he loves to fake out his mom and pretend to climb over the edge.  Please continue to just fake!

Max is becoming a pro on his scooter!

Tee time

Max had a great time on his first trip to the [mini] golf course.  He also loved watching the people in the batting cages; when they left Max said he wanted to see another baseball game.


Golfing with Grandma 

Who needs clubs?

Who needs a caddy when they can carry three balls, a club, and a flag all by themselves?

Made it!

Ahoy!

Max had a water-filled fun day with Grandma.  

Paddle boating on Lake Anne was relaxing for Max and quite a work out for Grandma and mommy.

Balloon Pawley!

Water table fun


Out of control as usual in the pool

Loving his new electric Spider-man toothbrush.  "I'm at the doctor", Max said as he excitedly brushed his teeth, rather than just eating the toothpaste as per usual.

Hello, Summer!

Today was Max's last day of school.   He will miss all of his friends, but will love all the extra time at the pool! 


"I found it!" 

Another sunglasses selfie in honor of National Sunglasses Day- the perfect made up holiday for sunglasses obsessed Max and mommy.

Diving board

After watching his friends (equipped with flotation devices) plunge one by one off the diving board, Max decided he wanted to give it a try.  "No I do it," he said while his mom treaded water, with open arms, awaiting his decent.  Max desperately wanted to take the jump, but in the spirit of human nature, was scared when his chance came.  Since Max is not a quitter, he figured out a way to get off that board, without taking the stairs. He sat down, scooted his tushy to the edge of the board, and dropped into the pool.  About a half dozen times later, we all had a good workout and called it a night.

Fascinated

It was tough to get Max to turn away from the excitement of the garbage truck this morning.
