Our Backyard Adventure

Bear gets very determined to ride the tricycle. After a while he finally gets frustrated and gets us to push him around. They do fight over who gets to ride it and sometimes will ride together but they just don't get the concept of pick up your feet!

Did you notice the snow boots? Coop brought them to me and refused (and I mean refused) to take them off all day. Again it's summer time!! We have this ravine out in the back that Coop calls the Jungle. Cooper has a weed plant that is huge that he loves to pull leaves off of and he likes to throw ropes over limbs and pull with all his might. Bear on the other hand likes to throw balls down the ravine and then sit down and scoot down on his butt to get it. It tends to panic me as there is poison ivy down there and he likes to get "stuck" and have me come get him. I gave up on getting him to not go down there but when I refused to get him he figured out how to get up pretty quick and hasn't gone that far again :-)

Bear also thinks it's really funny to hide behind all the a/c units and to put sticks down them. The phrase, "Not a toy!" means nothing to him. So this is usually what ends our "backyard" time.
