August was awake at 6:30. Carly and I were going to take him for a walk, but then it started raining. After it stopped, I took him out to the garage and he stood in the sink and played. When I came back in Cherie had arrived (Chuck had gone on a walk).
He spent the next few hours playing with the grandparents. And apparently his truck noises are louder today. Also, Cherie has been singing a song to him involving bubbles, and August can clearly say ‘bubble’ now.
He took a nap and afterwards we all drove out to the state park. Carly, Cherie, and Chuck did some floating. August went and played on the shore a couple of times, but mainly my mom and I took him up to the low faucets with short hose attachments for washing your feet and he played in those. He particularly liked the water overflowing the drainage area and making a little stream down the sidewalk and steps.
When they came out of the water, Carly took him for awhile and went up with him. But mainly he wanted to play with a different faucet – one that didn’t work. He has an eagle eye for spotting faucets now, and was disappointed that there were a few in the park he couldn’t play with.
Before leaving we walked over to the stream and walked up it a little ways. Not far as it was blocked by fallen trees. On the way there I was holding him high above my head so he could see everyone walking behind us. He found that amusing.
We drove back to town and Chuck and Cherie walked down to the house. We looked at menus and decided on trying the Fox and Quail. Dinner was good and August was fine, but our meals didn’t work out well for August, so he mainly ate a piece of whole wheat bread from Chuck’s sandwich.
We all walked back to the house and Chuck and Cherie stayed until August went to bed. Cherie went in with Carly when she gave him his bath.
