Sionara, Summer!

The last few posts have detailed just a bit of what's been going on with Norah and the Weber's over the last month or so. It hasn't all been filled with coughs, colds, morning-sickness and sniffles, though. We have found some time to have a little fun.

For those of you who don't know, Summer in the Midwest is hot. Damn hot. You won't find too many families taking leisurely strolls around the neighborhood after supper after around July 1st. It's still too muggy and sticky at that time of day. And, by the time August rolls around these parts, water-fun and activities in the AC are the name of the game for entertainment. And, that's just what the Webers engaged in.

In addition to just stripping her down and sticking a hose in her hand and Grandma and Poppy's house, Norah got to go to a really fun local park that includes water machines. What fun she had! She was a little hesitant about all of the random spurts and shoots of water popping out from every pole, and hole in the ground at first. But after a while, Norah took to it like...well....a fish to water. She had a grand time running through all of the sprinklers and such. Mommy actually lamented that she wished she knew about the park earlier so that Norah could've enjoyed more of it during the summer. There's always next year. And, seeing as how Mommy is going to be fresh off of maternity leave with the new bambino, you can bet we're all going to need some fun playtime out of doors.

Norah also got to beat the heat by going to the Boonshoft Museum for the first time. J's roommate from UD, Andi, came in to visit her brother, sis-in-law and their three kids, and we all met up at this fabulous discovery center. The Boonshoft is awesome! It is filled with tons of hands-on learning tools perfect for inquisitive little youngsters. As you can see, Norah had so much fun, she was plum tuckered after the whole experience. We will definitely be making many trips to the museum in the future.

So, that's is for the Summer. Labor Day is upon us and J, for one, is looking forward to all of the fun that Fall has to offer. Festivals, pumpkins, apple cider, turning leaves, football.....perhaps we'll even return to the scene of the infamous llama-loogy crime and pay a visit to Windmill farms. Who knows! Maybe that ol' llama will get it comeuppance this time around!

Happy Beginning of Fall, Everyone!
