Fun times

Since Grandpop was out of town this weekend, Andrew decided to step in and keep Grandmom company. Here they are enjoying some time together at the park. Andrew had a great time on the swings and went on the big twisty slide for the first time.

He is talking more and more and when he would go down the slide he would shout"Rye you Grandmom!" (rye= love, not sure why)

He has also started saying "no thank you" to everything.

Earlier in the week he went to the Botanical Gardens with his pal Henry. Andrew had never been before so Henry had to give him a lay of the land.

Here they are scoping things out.

Andrew was very cautious. After detaching him from my leg he checked out one of the fountains.

I wish I could have captured the look on his face when they jacked up the water pressure.

Always ready to lend a helping hand, Andrew did a little raking.
He climbed this latter all by himself (although Henry gave him lots of moral support)
