August 2016 Recap

I've already written about a number of our August adventures, so here's a quick post with a few more pictures that fell through the cracks. You may notice fewer photos in my monthly recaps, at least for a bit. We visited a number of our usual places, Jon and Matt went out on their own a number of times, and I often just had my hands too full to snap as many shots. But hopefully there are still enough to enjoy!

Some events:

Listening to music at a library-sponsored concert (and it took a little persuading to get him into the performance)

With his puppy ears at an outdoor storytime

At the library

Inside fun:

Lining up animal figures

Sick day

Puzzle fun (Matt has pretty much mastered 24-piece puzzles and is moving on to 30+-piece puzzles. He still loves his puzzles!)

Mr. Potato Head getting a makeover

Hooking up his trains

Building tall, tall towers out of his Duplos (Matt has really gotten into these this month, which is good because we have quite the collection of these, more than enough for both boys to build tall towers side by side when Andy gets to that point. But right now Andy just watches and gets startled at the inevitable tumbling down.)

With Dada's "robot eyes," or virtual reality goggles, watching some fish

Outside fun:

 
Digging in the yard (so far no dinosaur bones or footprints located, much to his disappointment)

Hitting the ball

On a hike with Dada

At the playground: "Did you want to sit right there?"

And one more photo from this past month:
With his turkey feather collection (two wing feathers and one tail feather, all found in our yard)
