Working with Dad

The BIG Nene

We went to get a new Nene. They were out
of the small polka dot ones and only had it in
the big (much more expensive) size. Rocco
called Dad and asked if he could get the BIG
one. He is so happy now with his "little nene
with the holes in it and the big one."

Messy Man

Breakfast (and pre-brushed hair) is messy!

Safari Park with Auntie Gum

Big muscles.

Baby gorilla nearly the same age as Luca
and they both weigh 16 lbs. So adorable!

Rocco was scared of the goats because the little
black one was pretty feisty and a big one peed
right in front of us then drank it, he was
shocked and thoroughly disgusted .

Of course he made Auntie Gum
brush the mean one!

The boys had so much fun!!!

Luca's first carousel ride! He wouldn't

stop staring at the big, open mouth of the
tiger next to him that Rocco was riding!

Gardens with Joe

Morning

Yes, this is how we wake up most
mornings...wrestling! They are so
happy to see each other that a good
morning hug always results in wrestling.
Boys.

Dinosaurs

Today at the gardens we just played
in this shady, dinosaur area for hours!

Ceramic Painting

With Budgie painting fish for
our "under the sea" garden.

Washing Uncle G's Car

Again, hard at work. Washing Uncle G
and Steven's cars with his spray bottle.

Fixing the Cabinet

He spent a long time working on a
way to keep the cabinet door shut.

Goofy Gardeners

Aprons

Grandpa always wears this apron around
the yard. Grandma made one for Rocco
and he wore his while helping Grandpa
clean up outside.

Ghost Pancakes

We read Olivia's Haunted House before bed.
At the end of the story she made ghost pancakes
so of course when we woke up he wanted ghost
pancakes for breakfast.


































Cooking all of our meals at Grandma's house
because this is our kitchen at home.

Fun with Cleve & Cayden

We met Cleve & Cayden at the mall. It was so
great to be with some boys who like to just run
forever like Rocco. He had a blast! Can't wait
to do it again!

Firefighters

There was a firefighter crew on a call near
Dad's lacrosse game. We had to check out
engine. The guys were nice enough to give
us a tour, let Rocco go inside, and gave the
boys some hats! Rocco using his finger binoculars.

Cardboard Box "Boats"

Mustache

We had some face paint crayons.
Made Rocco a pirate but the pictures
along with a bunch more are lost.
