We had some large thunder and rain storms while in Boise. We spent Saturday morning inside. However by lunch time the skies were clear. After lunch we took the kids on a walk down to a couple of park near by.
Jeremy (Jared's brother) and Makale: Ok, you are going to think of us as awful parents. But RJ can be very timid about things, and has a hard time trying things that look scary, even if we offer to help him. Savannah is our brave one with very little fears. So there was this little rock wall at the park. Any time I see a rock wall I try to get RJ to climb it. He always refuses. But Daddy was there this time and we kind of made him climb it. He screamed the whole time. I know we are awful! But by trying to get him to do this things I am hoping he will realize that it isn't that bad and will eventually try things on his own. So far no success. But here he is screaming his head off while we support him as he climbs the playground rock wall.

Savannah is really into balancing on anything that looks like a balance beam. We hope to get her in gymnastics when she is three or four.
There is a nice little pond near by. RJ saw a fish jump out and he kept trying to look for more. Jared and Jeremy were going to take RJ fishing that night but another storm blew in.
Makale kept making all these crazy "moves" and Savannah kept trying to copy him. It was a good laugh.
Since a storm blew in, Jeremy and Jared took RJ to Boondocks to play arcade games instead of going fishing. Savannah and Makale took their naps and then enjoyed Nemo while crunching on carrots with ranch.

I love that you got a picture of Makale's "moves" on the walk to the park. I totally laughed out loud when I saw that.
So much fun!
LOL, that doesn't make you awful parents! You'd never push him to do something he is legitimately afraid of, probably only things you'd know he'd like if he just tried! Sometimes kids need a litte "encouragement" and then they realize, "hey, that wasn't so bad!"
