Summer Fun

We have been very busy having lots of fun lately.  Summer is in full swing here in the bay area.  Lots of hot days filled with parks, walks, bike rides, beach days etc.  I love summer.
Ollie has been really into making faces lately.  He will look at you and say "this is my naughty face", we tell him we don't like his naughty face, we like his happy face so he will transform and give us a happy face.  It is pretty funny.
Here is his naughty face.

Happy face.

Jason and Ollie have been anxiously anticipating the movie Cars 2.    Jason wanted to have a father/son afternoon so he started planning and talking it up weeks in advance.  They rode Jason's bike to the theater, met up with friends, got popcorn, and saw the movie.  Ollie was so excited.  When he got home I asked him if he liked it and he said it was "too scary and too loud".  

Ollie has been seeming entirely too grown up for me lately.  I can't believe he is almost 3.  He is now riding his bike really well.  His favorite thing to do is go on family walks around the neighborhood.  His bike doesn't have pedals so it helps him learn to balance.  He has really impressed us with his cycling skills.  It sure makes Jason proud :)

Ollie got a Buzz Lightyear sprinkler for his birthday last year and he really liked it last year, but he LOVES it this year.  It is also a big hit with his friends.  Lots of good opportunities to learn about sharing.  You can see it behind Ollie's left shoulder.

This little bug is as cute as ever.  Here he is patiently waiting for brother to finish swimming lessons.

Someone forgot to take the garbage out (don't worry these were brand new garbage bags).

Last week we headed to a beach in Aptos (10 mins south of Santa Cruz).  It is fun exploring new beaches and we really liked this one.  The weather was really nice and we had a great time.  Max dumped out a bag of Cheetos.

Ollie and Jason (his friend, not his dad) had tons of fun throwing sticks into the water and then retrieving them.

 
Seriously!?!?  How is that much cuteness possible? Jason thinks he looks like Mr. Fredrickson from the movie UP.

Max and one of his many girlfriends, Adalyn.  They are just a couple months apart.
