Ian's Bird House

It is so nice to be all together again. The two weeks Scott was gone were the most lonely, sad days ever. Thankfully Scott arrived early in the morning on the Fourth of July holiday and the three of us got in plenty of play time over the long weekend. Here are some pictures of a trip to Home Depot on Saturday morning where "Ian" built a bird house. This was his first Kids Workshop.





We also had an excellent Fourth of July. We BBQ'd with our good friends the Linfords and watched the fireworks in the local Target parking lot. Scott held Ian up to see the fireworks and Ian was enthralled. He pointed at the show in the sky the entire time and kept shouting with glee. During some loud thunderstorms the next week, Ian kept shouting "Boom! Boom!" and searching the sky for more fireworks.

They let Ian participate even though he wasn't 5? That's fantastic! Looks like a great time. What are you going to do with the birdhouse?
