Park turns to Swamp

We didn't notice it until we started walking towards to other end of the kids playground area that we saw the flooded woods and walkways at the park.  It covered the woods, bridge and picnic area. 

Flooded Day Off

Today I decided to stay home from work.  It was going to be impossible for me to drive up to work with so many detours and road closings preventing me from getting there.  Route 1 was closed at 295 and in Lawrence, then Route 130 was closed at route 33 and in Hightstown, so there goes that way and even if i got close to work, they closed route 18 and several roads in New Brunswick I would normally travel.  Sooooo... It was a nice day for a change and we decided to go to Veteran's Park to get some fresh air. 

Swinging with his daddy

It was nice to get out of the house and have a nice outing with the family.

Up Close

When Dylan likes a show & he's playing he will sometimes go up to the tv unit & stare at the tv. Here he's watching sesame street. It's usually that, Dino train or Disney Junior.

Dancing to the Ragtimers

Calm before the storm

We were surprised to hear that the Ragtimers were going to perform their Friday concert in Avon. We had planned on going to meet up with Dani and Vic who brought their nephew, Kyle, with them. I surprised with the turnout for the band, mostly regulars.

It turned out to be a nice night.  Now to finish getting for this hurricane.  

Sleepover with new shoes

Aunt Dani stayed over Wednesday night.  We went out to dinner at the local mexican restaurant, Chapala's.  Watched Arthur the movie with Russell Brand, not the kid show.  In between Dani and Dylan had some bonding time.

I got him the gripping shoes that look like socks.  He tried taking them off, but I want him to get used to them for walking since he's almost there.  He took 2  more steps!  Aunt Dani has the magic touch!

If you won't I will

At Yuula's party we saw the swing they built and put Dylan in.  Dylan thought he would put some miles on it. 

My kid could be in there forever.  We may need to get a swing set for next summer!

Yuula's Party

I'm finally getting a chance to post these before I get ready for work.  It was a great party and everyone had fun especially the kids. 

Dylan loves the swing!
