Dancing Kings (think ABBA)
Cole likes to have a dish towel tied around his neck when he eats waffles so the syrup doesn't make his shirt sticky (however, it is NOT a bib!). This particular morning he got up from the table and declared the towel was a dancing shirt and danced around the room. Of course, then Jay needed a dancing shirt too. After duct tapping the dancing shirts to their shirts, we turned on disco music and boogied down.

The Beach?

When I was little, the narrow strip of sand across the bay was always a big deal, so I was excited to bring the boys there. Cole must have been expecting Isle of Palms because he was NOT impressed. And Jay was shocked at how cold the water was. He barely got his toes wet. Nonetheless, they both has fun. But we may need to call it something other than "the beach" now.



Boats
We spent a lot of time in the boats while in Canada. Jay could barely move in the lifejacket, but he seemed to have fun. Cole didn't like how loud the outboard was when we went fast, so rides with him were very leisurely. He went fishing for the first time with Grandpa Pat and a "sneaky fish" took the minnow. He was so cute telling the story.


A Visit from Grandma and Pop Pop
We enjoyed a visit from Grandma and Pop Pop over Fathers Day weekend. Cole spent the whole time playing with a toy workbench they brought that can be put together and taken apart with little wooden screws and a screwdriver. As soon as he gets it together, he takes it apart again. On Fathers Day we had brunch at a local restaurant and got a picture of three generations of Mirman men.
