With the McCuistion side of the family coming to visit for a few days, we started cleaning up a bit. Ezra "helped" by taking clothes out of the basket.
Here he is helping Jason fold socks- for certain definitions of folding.
This is a random cute picture that could not go un-posted.
Ezra likes play dates. Here, he and Livy are playing kitchen.
He got tired pretty quickly, so Livy continued playing and he took a snooze.
When the McCuistions got into town, we did all sorts of cool things. We went to Cypress Gardens, which turned out to be much cooler than we had anticipated. We packed a picnic lunch and ate in the covered area.
Next, we went to the butterfly sanctuary. That was really fun because we were able to see lots and lots of butterflies close up. There was a volunteer who really knew his stuff that told us all about the different types of butterflies and also showed us a couple that were laying eggs! Later, he gave us a lesson about honey bees. Cypress Gardens has an awesome glassed in hive that we watched for quite a while.
After that, Ezra got to meet "Cypress" the duck. He and Jason sat and talked with him for quite a while. Ezra really wanted to touch "Cypress," so Jason helped him to just look rather than love on the duck like he so often loves on Marla and Nixon.
We were surprised and excited to find out that Cypress Gardens has little people life jackets. Ezra put his on like a champ, and got to go in boat around the swamp.
Jason was a champ steering the boat.
We saw alligators and turtles on our ride
Aren't McCuistions silly?
Grandpa snuggle
Possibly my favorite picture of the week
We went to the beach to look for shells, but it was really chilly. We bundled up as best we could.
Ezra is super cute cocoon-ed in.
It kills me to think my Little Man is almost 10 months old. I really couldn't ask for a better little guy in my life. I am truly grateful everyday for my family and my life.
