On June 30th, Aunt Chickie, Connor, Jake, Taylor and I headed to the park in Bayonne so Connor and Jake could get in some cousin bonding time! The fun started on the swings! Jake loved Connor pushing him really high!
Jake held on tight while Connor gave him some big pushes!
Then it was on to the slide!!! What's more fun than sliding down the twisty slide with your big cousin?!
It's hard to say who was having more fun...Jake or Connor? hahaha
Then it was on to the sprinklers! "Whoa that was cold!"
Jake wanted everyone in on the action!
That Aunt Chickie...she tricked him walking around the outside of the sprinklers so she didn't get wet!
Connor drinking sprinkler water...Yuck!
Jake was just amazed by the water falling down. He was a bit intimidated at first and probably a bit frozen by the icy cold water but he was loving it a few minutes in!
It's like rain but with the sun shining! He ran around squealing with joy. Ah the joys of the simple things in life!!!!
And of course there was a need to stop and play in the puddles!
How cute...he's like Connor's mini me!
"Run Connor Run!" Connor had his hands full trying to keep up with his little cuz!
Jake with blue lips and shaking from being so chilled had to be bribed away from the sprinklers! Connor pulled out every stop in the book to try to convince the little guy that the water was just too cold to keep playing in! haha
So the little energizer bunny got his big cuz to play ball with him in the grass!
He hasn't yet mastered the hand eye coordination required to play ball but he did manage to hit the ball at least once!
Coach Connor did his best to show the little guy how to swing the bat.
Where was Taylor during all this? She was fast asleep in her stroller! Boy did she miss out on a fun day! Jake was so wiped out by the time we were leaving he walked half way to the car and decided he was just too tired to make it the rest of the way! Aunt Chick had to carry him! There's nothing better than a fun day at the park with your cousin!
