new skill

Along with turning 5 last week, Ty learned how to ride without training wheels! He's so big--it's crazy! He got a new 16" bike for his birthday, but he learned on his old one. I think it helped because he could put his feet down easily when he started to fall. He was an instant pro! It didn't take long until he was standing up riding! He also tried to mimic his 12-year-old cousin by attempting to pop a wheelie--Lord help us all!

Ty turned FIVE!!!!

We celebrated the big day with some family and friends at a splash park near our house...

meeting Curious George

Military Park in downtown Indy hosted PBS Kids Day with lots of characters, bounce houses, and performances. One of the highlights (although you can't tell from the picture) was meeting Curious George! Drew chickened-out after waiting in a looooooooooooong line to meet him, but we managed (with the help of the family behind us) to snap a quick picture. As you can see, Luke was loving it--ha, ha! Corey was with Ty who was busy trying out the different bounce houses.
