4 Years + 3 months

At the beginning of the month, Ryder helped me get the garden going.  We planted some early seeds back in April/May, but this month we got everything else in.  He helped me pick out the tomatoes at the garden place, then he helped me dig the holes and poured the water in them to plant those tomatoes.  He loves to check the garden for any signs of progress, and to pick all the strawberries that he sees!

We are 100% back in fire fighter mode this month.  The briefly, slightly neglected fire fighting toys have been back in heavy rotation.  There are emergencies inside and outside, upstairs and downstairs; pretty much everywhere one can imagine.  Ryder sets up elaborate scenes of fires and accidents and then his guys go to work.

Ryder still enjoys cooking, as he has since he was very young.  One of his favorite summer things to prepare is lemonade.  He loves to squeeze the lemons on our little tool and then stir everything together.  His favorite part is obviously drinking the lemonade.

As he has the past couple of years, Ryder enjoyed the Fiesta.  He really likes all of the rides, but especially the huge slide.  He runs up the huge staircase to the top and then wants to turn around and get right back in line.  It is also fun to hang out at the beach during the Seine Boat races and the Greasy Pole, of course!

Enjoying the tiny waves!
