Fun in the Sun

We've been braving the heat and having a lot of fun outside this week. Hunter loves to play in the backyard, fortunately we have a pretty big shaded area that I can usually convince him to hang out in.

He especially loves to hang out around the patio furniture. Our backyard is pretty bare other than that, and this area has two positives for him: 1. no grass touching his hands or feet and 2. he can actually walk around because he has something to hold on to.


Here's some photos from the other night when we were hanging out in the back yard...

We called Hunter over to us (we were in the aforementioned shaded area), and he thought about heading our way...
But then he saw the grass...

and then felt the grass and decided to sit his stubborn behind down until we came to get him...

which of course we did, and he was soooo happy!

Then later this past week some of my work friends all went to eat on the patio at Matt's. Hunter and Parker had a great time picking up the chicks. Parker is a real ladies man.

These little mac daddys are way too cool to smile for the camera.

And last but not least, this weekend our church youth ministry had it's annual Scogames. We went on Friday night and Hunter had a pretty good time. James and I got put on separate teams, so Hunter joined my team, Scobabwe, in all of the activies. Doesn't the yellow face paint compliment him well?


Hunter says, "Daddy, Scobabwe is totally going to kick Mexisco's behind!"
(They didn't by the way. James's team, Mexisco, came in first, but Scobabwe was a close second!!)

Hunter tried the water slide with daddy. This was definitely not his idea of fun. It's hard to hear his sream of terror over my big mouth, but if you listen carefully it's there (right before James gets his second push off)...
