Lately

Life in the Bellon household has been going as usual. We're still patiently waiting for the fall weather to arrive. Even though it's still miserably hot, we've been braving the weather for a few outdoor activities.

Exhibit A: Sidewalk Chalk

Brayden thought it was really neat that he was allowed to "color" on the porch. We practiced drawing circles and learning our colors. Right now Brayden thinks everything is "lellow." He also enjoyed watching the cars drive by on the street.


Exhibit B: Railroad Museum

We took Brayden to the DeQuincy Railroad Museum yesterday. He's been really into trains lately, so we thought he'd enjoy seeing a real train up close and personal. He did enjoy it, but really REALLY wanted to ride it. Unfortunately, that's not possible. He had a good time anyway!

And in other important news...Brayden will be two in less than a month! I can't believe how fast time is flying. Save the date - we'll be celebrating his birthday with a train party on Saturday, October 23rd! :)

Sam Houston Park adventure

So, in order to exercise more, we (along with the Berryhill's) are the proud owners of bicycles. And the babies are the proud owners of a little ride-in cart. It's quite the site, and biking is definitely not as easy as it was when I was 10. Despite that, we decided to take advantage of the under 90 degrees weather this past Saturday and we loaded up and went to Sam Houston Jones state park. We ate a picnic lunch and let the babies run around, then biked around for a little while. We fed some odd looking ducks and even saw a (sad looking) deer. It was quite the adventure!

The babies definitely have the best set up. Drinks while you ride...what could be better?!
