July 2016!



Our 2nd annual Splat Mud Race! Kieran loved it again this year!

Waiting for the race to begin...


The race begins in an inflatable obstacle course... awesome!


Let the mudding begin!













So much fun!


This kid loves to get dirty










Emerald was not all that impressed with his feat ;)


A little chilly after shower off in the hose station

Celebrating with snow cones!




Nana Orange was there to cheer her boy on!




Hiding a rock... this was a fad for the summer of 2016. Jefferson City residents painted and hid rocks around town to be found and shared on Facebook before they are re-hidden. Kieran loved it!


A few days later he found his first rock!

Hanging out at Runge Nature Center... we love the new natural play space additions

Kieran was very taken with this adorable fairy house

He also loved the bamboo walking (fighting) sticks

A fuzzy caterpillar at rung...

Found another rock!
Tiger beetle!









Fun with the Pitts girls in the basement...
