Jackson took gymnastics all spring, but I just now got around to getting the pictures on my computer! He loved it, but his coach is pregnant now and taking a break. 
On the 2nd day we visited the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens. We didn't actually make it to the garden part! We got to feed the lorikeets. Jackson didn't really have the patience for it, but Jonah did a great job of holding still and waiting for the birds to come. Jackson got to go on his first pony ride, and loved it. The pony's name was Spooky. It was a great day and the rain didn't start until we were leaving. So in tradition we once again got to drive home from Columbia in the pouring rain!
We took the boys to Columbia, SC for a little weekend getaway. The first day we visited Edventure, a hands-on children's museum. They had a travelling bubble exhibit that was pretty cool. You can see the boys trying to make a bubble around themselves. They also had a miniature Piggly Wiggly's grocery store. The boys shopped and got to check themselves out. Strangely enough they were more interested in the grocery store than the huge fire truck. I guess we know what they spend the most time doing :) Jonah liked the drums that you could play along with the tribal people on the big screen! The only thing they didn't like was the gigantic 2-story creepy boy "Ed" that was in the middle of the museum. You could climb in the backside of him and they're was a slide and stuff inside!
Jonah is quite fun and challenging these days. I'm amazed everyday at the new words he can say. He can name way too many of the cars from CARS! He is especially obsessed with shoes, so here he is with Clay's sandals on. He will walk around with them on and try to jump up and down.
All that craziness definitely wears him out. He fell asleep in the wagon on the walk home from the pool.
We spent part of Memorial weekend on our first serious house project. We decided to stain the porch floor. We had to treat the floor first, then stain it, and then add the clear coat. We used a brownish color with some red over it that matches our furniture! We are rather pleased with ourselves :) It makes it seem much more like a room and less like an outside patio. Anybody that wants to visit and check it out is more than welcome!!
