Hey! I'm inside the firetruck!

Just when you thought it couldn't get any cooler...

Thanks, Carrboro FD

Seriously, as though putting out fires wasn't enough, they go out of their way to be nice to kids.

Firetruck!

For a kid who loves buttons, knobs and trucks, this is pretty overwhelming.

Breakfast with pals

I think he has enough toys

Spoon!

He's getting really good at it. The vast majority if the yogurt ended up on the inside.

Helping push the new neighbors

That's good table

Unsatisfied by breakfast, Conrad attempts to eat the dining room table.

Pawleys Island trip

We spent last week at Pawleys Island, SC with Jean's family for Don and Thelma's 50th wedding anniversary celebration. It was a great week, and Conrad loved being surrounded by family members.

He also loved pulling all the bowls out of the cupboards. Several times a day.

When we went to the beach on July 4th, we put a kiddie pool on the sand under an umbrella and he sat and happily played in it for hours. That was then.

This trip, he got out of the kiddie pool and charged straight for the ocean. Whenever we took him to the beach, he would make a beeline for the surf. He was washed over by waves a few times and it never phased him.

Since we've been home, he's started lying face down in the bathtub blowing bubbles in the water. He is an Aquarius, after all.

More photos from the trip are on our Flickr page. More to come once I get them off my iPhone.
