Working Hard

Today, Aidan and I took the train down to Darren's office for lunch. The train ride took us about twice as long to get downtown as driving would have but driving wouldn't have been half as entertaining.

Dirty Work

Last Saturday, Aidan helped Darren replace some sprinkler heads.

He offered me some of the 'hot chocolate' he was making. I declined.

Cookin' up something

Aidan had the chance to work on his culinary skills this week. The mall had a special kids program going on this week with a different activity every day.

On Tuesday, he got to make a pizza at California Pizza Kitchen. There are only pictures of the back of his head because every time I tried to step away he started eating his ingredients.

The result was very yummy.

On Wednesday, he decided he get his own snack. At least a few Cheerios ended up in the bowl.

On Thursday, it was onto Auntie Anne's to make pretzels.

Another delicious treat.

;)

Aidan learned to wink. He is going to need a lot of practice though if he is going to use it to pick up girls.

Fourth of July

We spent the weekend of the Fourth of July in Minnesota with Darren's family.

Random Pictures

Here a couple of recent shots that have nothing to do with each other, I just thought they were fun photos.

Enjoying the outdoors

Aidan used his birthday money to get a seat for the back of Darren's bike. He likes to wear his helmet. He find the ride very relaxing and even falls asleep.Aidan feeding a neighborhood turtle.
