Dylan’s daycare is closed alllll week in celebration of the 4th, so we joined Heather, Taliana and Heather’s mom and dad, who are visiting from Ohio, for a train ride at Roaring Camp Railroads.
Dylan woke up at 6am when I got up to shower, and he fell asleep about an hour before H. arrived to get us, so he was a bit on the sedate side for the first half of the ride; he was ready to play during the second half!
By the time, the ride ended, he was really reeady to go! He played with Taliana, checked out the haystacks, ate a lot of cherries and hummus, and he signed “duck” (!) as we were leaving! Well, really, it looked a little like his sign for “pig”, being near the mouth and all, but he was definitely looking at the ducks! We gave him props for being close!
Later in the evening, he signed “all done” and “hot” (saw John, our neighbor’s son, sitting out near his fire pit).
Oh, as for this post’s title, those cute little shoes are his relatively new soft-sole shoes we got as one of his bday presents from Grandma Sharon and Papa Willard.
He loves ’em…and, an interesting factoid about them: the soles are made out of the same material used for climbing gear and search and rescue dog booties!
Heck, that just means their durable…! Dylan has worn these on hot sand, hot asphalt, on dirt (pictured here) and he’s clearly comfy in them. Unlike his sandals, he doesn’t really try to tear these off his feet. In fact, today, he was trying to put them on!
He says thanks and sends his love!!
