Yard work

Benjamin "helped" Grandpa do a project in the front yard while he was here. They removed rocks and hostas, and then put in brick, lights, plants, and more rock. Moving rocks was Benjamin's favorite part. Grandpa will be happy to know, Benjamin still wants to get the bucket and move rocks.


Nothing is better than getting dirty!


Here's the finished project--a little hard to make out, but it looks great!


Helping Dad mow the lawn--Benjamin's in the backpack, if you can't tell. Dad got a great work out! Benjamin, however, fell asleep on the job.


Watering the tomato plants--another favorite job!


Grandma got Benjamin his own watering can while she was here. Most of the water still makes it on him, rather than the plants, but, oh well, that's half the fun!

Cape Cod

Sorry it's been so long since the last post! We've been busy with company (Grandma and Grandpa from Florida), and a couple little two-day trips. We went to New Jersey to see relatives and Cape Cod to do some sight-seeing with Grandma and Grandpa. Benjamin has been in seventh heaven with all of the entertainment and going "bye-bye." He definitely loves to be on the go! (So long as the car ride isn't too long!)

Here are some shots from Cape Cod:


Inspecting the shell collection. "Why do you keep putting them in the bucket, Grandma? It's more fun to take them out!"


Walking with Mama.


Hangin with Daddy and Grandpa


It was a little cooler the next day, with rain on and off.


Throwing rocks in the water--what a fun game!


Dad got in the water, even though it was chilly out, and the water was cold. He couldn't resist those waves.


We stayed on the beach, digging in the sand.
