This was the perfect week at the beach! Nolan was fascinated by all the nature. Bryce loved picking up shells and digging. The bay was a great swimming spot. We rode the trolley to get ice cream, and we saw the horses up close drinking out of the shower. We all rode a surrey bicycle and climbed the lighthouse

ocean city

We had a great time at the beach. Nolan and Bryce both loved playing in the sand and the water. Bryce had no fear and would just run straight into the ocean. Nolan loved looking for clams and other small creatures to hold and love.
The boys also had a great time on the boardwalk taking in all the sights and riding the tram. Bryce loved the sea gulls and the boats in the water. Nolan went miniature golfing and even got a hole in one!

horsham landfill

Making a landfill is a new favorite activity in our house. The boys rip up magazines and play in the paper. Not sure why the like this, but they do!

first haircut

Bryce had his first haircut on July 4th. I never want to cut the boys hair because it makes them look more mature but after enough complaints from Matt I broke out the scissors.
Bryce just needed two little snips on the back near his ears.
He is as handsome as could be!

July 4th

This year we went to see fireworks at Peddler's Village. We had a picnic dinner and waited for the fireworks to begin. The field was covered with grasshoppers and crickets, they were everywhere.
Nolan and Bryce both liked the fireworks, but not the noise.

using a fork

Bryce tried using a fork for the first time and was pretty successful! He can get pieces into his mouth if I stab the food. Because he loves to be independent, getting the fork to get the food onto it is a challenge.

problem solving

Bryce is such a good problem solver. He loves to push trucks and sticks and vacuums, and really anything he can. When we are outside he knows he needs to push anything directly under the trampoline so it will move without getting stuck.

bug catcher

Nolan loves bugs. He is always on the look out for a new friend to catch and observe. He loves bugs so much that we have a pet cricket named Post.
Here he is making friends with a lightning bug.
And look at funny Bryce. He never stops moving, laughing, smiling and having fun!

water boys

They love to swim and they love water. Every day, even when we are not in the pool, they are completely soaked. They always find something that is wet.
Nolan is able to swim all on his own now and is getting so confident in the water

monkeys

I actually have to help Bryce jump off the furniture because he can't do it by himself yet.
He watches Nolan and insists that I help him to do the same
