I have a ton of stuff today. The summer sizzle is finally over and it is a huge relief. Getting outside is a powerful tool for managing these boys myself. This morning we scouted playgrounds. We played at two and did a drive-by on two more.

This was today’s favorite, the only thing it was lacking was shade.

Race to the top

This is one of my new favorite pictures of Brendan! He was peeking through the floor of the tornado slide.

My little daredevil

We had the whole place to ourselves once the maintenance crew pulled away. They keep this place spotless, and the sand was even all raked and pretty

Trevor pointed at the big boulder and said, “That rock is from Arizona” 😀 😀

They loved the bouncy bridge and kept coming back to it.

The video quality on this is poor, but there is a lot to love in this video! Silly boys!

We picked up Brendan’s glasses today. I will apologize now to future Brendan. We had to pick function over fashion. These are called Miraflex glasses. They are super malleable, safe and durable. They are hard to break and were highly recommended by his eye doctor. The color and shape selection was scary.

Brendan wanted no part of them initially. I had to go next door and get him a Sprite at McD’s to distract him.

“This isn’t frozen coke!”

Bill tried to talk him in to wearing them.

He definitely seems to notice the difference in his vision when he has them on. His expressions are pretty funny. But he HATES the strap that will hold them in place. Without it, the glasses just slide off too easily. He would wear them for a few minutes at a time and then pull them off. It will just take some getting used to.

He is still my adorable silly Brendan

Trevor was happy it was spaghetti night

The spaghetti aftermath

After-bath, even Batman needs glasses.

This will be a big adjustment for the whole family getting used to his new look and taking care of his glasses. We have a little adventure prepared for tomorrow!
