Babysitting for Staci's Birthday

I was excited to wake up this morning because I get to babysit Brody and Barret today and they get to spend the night tonight.

We started the morning outside playing baseball, football, basketball, and frisbee. Barrett had high sports energy this morning and so did Brody.

All of a sudden Body dove into the vines in our front yard. He said they were very comfortable and he lay there for a few seconds before jumping up running about 30 feet away and then running back to the vines and jumping in again!

For lunch, I drove through the Taco Bueno drive through twice (the first time i ordered 2 Party Tacos for the kids instead of Party Burrittos.) The second time the line was 6 cars deep but I finally got the right food for the kids - my fault. I meant to say burrito instead of taco.

We took our food to a neat little park in a nearby town and even though it was windy we ate a picnic lunch.

Brody was wearing camo - so see if you can find him in the next photo.

We walked the creek as almost all boys want to do.

And Brody taught Barrett everything he knows about creeks.

Brody really enjoyed the play-ground and Barrett really enjoyed the statue of the little girl and her dog.

I thought Barret was just needing a nap but later I found out he was coming down with a virus and had a fever. That must be why he wouldn't play. Barrett just wanted to sit still in the shade.

Brody found a friend named Jacob. To get the full effect of these next two photos you must click on them and study how Brody and Jacob are coming down the slide.

Brody was almost riding his new friend Jacob's back down the slide!, laughing all the way.

Barrett could not wait to get into his crib. He has a viral infection and we hope he feels better in the morning. Joan took him to the doctor today.
