"Field Trips" with Parker

The weather has been so unpredictable lately. One day it is warm and perfect for a walk and the next it is snowing and you don't even want to step outside. It is on these unexpectedly cold days, that you have to get creative. Parker gets tired of being in the house all day and so do I. Here are some of the fun excursions that we have taken.

The first is a trip to the mall to "ride" the fun cars! Parker is happy to just sit in them and hold the steering wheel, so I don't even put money in (Besides I never have any quarters and Parker is such a chicken that I am pretty sure he would get scared if the cars started moving).


Our latest field trip, (today), was a little drive down to the pet store. Here are some pictures of Parker with the cute little puppies, although he preferred watching the fish.


Of course, I usually have to make a few stops of my own. Parker scored these sweet sunglasses on a particularly trying day at JoAnn's.


This past Sunday afternoon, Paul and I took Parker up to Bridal Veil Falls. It was a really nice day and it was fun to just be together as a family, now that things are finally starting to slow down for the summer.

Oh that cracked me up about Parker being chicken if the cars started moving. It's like a free 'Disneyland' for him!

That's a good idea to go to the pet store with the little guy. The cars look fun too! Parker is just getting cuter and cuter.
