The Next Bobby Fisher

Friday was a beautiful and sunny day, and Rudy and I were able to make it to the playground for a little while.
He showed off his skills on a piece of equipment that you jump and grab onto and then it spins around. He's been practicing a lot on it when he and Paul have gone to the park.







He also practiced his Spiderman skills by hanging onto the bridge here.


Soon we are going camping with some friends we've made through Rudy's adoption. Although Saturday was grey and cloudy, we knew we had to check out the tent. So we set it up in the back yard. Rudy was soooo excited and has been asking everyday if it's time to go camping yet.
Here he is with a goofy pose while hanging out in the tent.


Another one. I seem to be able to get pictures with a goofy look, or pictures of the back of his head, so I take the goofy look.


Our tent and chairs all set up and reayd to go. Too bad we had to then take it all down and pack them back up!


Saturday night, Rudy wanted to play chess. he's played with the pieces a few times but this time he wanted Paul to teach him how. The irony of thiss that Paul doesn't like playing board games with Rudy because Rudy quickly gets distracted or acts silly and starts making his own rules. However, Pau explained the chess rules to Rudy in language he cold understand (these pieces are all like superheroes and they all have special powers) and they played. Rudy actually made it through the whole game, and the next morning pulled the set out again and set the tnire thing up on his own, with all but 2 pieces in the right spot. maybe we have he next Bobby Fisher i n our family!
