Fountains and a drumstick

We have had a fun week. On Tuesday we went down to Salt Lake to play in the fountains at the Gateway. Beck isn't much of a water lover, so I was interested to see how he would like it. We went there with my Mom. It was no surprise that Beck wasn't at all interested in getting wet. He just wanted to sit in the stroller and watch all that was going on. He watched with a strange look on his face. I'm sure he was wondering why all these kids were enjoying getting splashed in the face. We will have to see how he enjoys Bear Lake. Cache likes the water, but I think he was too hot to enjoy playing in it. We were able to see my dad and brother, and ran in to Brent and Hillary. Small world. We got lemonade and ice cream and then went to Nano's house. Beck found a knife sharpener at my mom's house and thought it was a cool sword. He played with that most of the rest of the night. He wasn't very happy to have to leave it behind.

On Saturday night we went to the park and had a picnic with some chicken. We gave Beck a drumstick to eat. He took the drumstick and then ran off to play. He went down the slides, up the stairs, across the bridge - all while munching on his drum stick. He quite enjoyed himself. When he came back to our blanket he had eaten the drumstick like a sucker. He had eaten everything off the top (cartilage and all) and left all the meat on the sides. I'd never seen a drumstick look like that before. He ate what was left on that one and then took the other one. He went back to the playground to happily eat his drumstick.

Beck is getting to have a big imagination. He came with me to the church the other day while I had to make copies. He brought a dinosaur and a hot dog riding a skateboard. He had the best time playing with them. They had lots of adventures while I was making my copies. I was having fun listening to his little mind and listening to the story that was going on in his head.
