I have been trying for a year or so to sign Rudy up for an archery class at the wildlife refuge but it always fills up quickly. This year we finally made the cut. Then we found out that parents could participate. Here are Rudy and Paul doing there thing. I missed the first class and assumed I wouldn't be participating, but shortly after taking these pictures was asked by one of the volunteers if I wanted to do it, too. So while there is currently no photographic evidence, I do know how to shoot a bow now.
Last weekend we went to the Lego Fest (again!). We had planned not to go this year but a few months ago, Rudy started asking when it was and talking about how much he wanted to go. This year we dragged Charlie along with us.
Charlie loved the Lego trains. He spent several minutes watching them and then went back again several times.
Rudy being a patient big cousin as they watched the train again.
There were Star Wars characters walking around. Rudy immediately wanted his picture taken (and Charlie immediately said no way!)
Then Charlie saw this guy and wanted Rudy to take a picture with him. He still kind of looks terrified!
Taking Charlie was quite a different experience. He wanted to stand in line to build and race a car. (Rudy kept checking in with us and verifying that Charlie REALLY wanted to stand in such a long line- he did.)
The finished product.
Handing it over to be placed on the race track.
Charlie's vehicle was in the middle.
I think it ended up coming in third.
This was a moving Lego display like a Rube Goldberg machine.
A minifigure made entirely from balloons.
After the Lego fest, we met the rest of the cousins and Chris and Patti for dinner.
Here Rudy and Charlie were hiding behind the bench.
We took advantage of having all the cousins together and snapped some pictures. They actually turned out pretty well.
Max was being a tolerant big brother and carrying Charlie around on his back. I think Charlie requested a picture be taken.
