Long holiday weekend

Dave and I both had Friday off, making this a nice, long four day holiday weekend for us!  The weather has been very cooperative, but a bit on the hot side, nearly hitting 90 each day.  We set up Ajax’s baby pool and bought him a new water toy for outside to help him stay cool (again, because the only place he really wants to be is outside).

We went to Gander Mountain (a camping store) yesterday as they were having a sale on camping grills and we had a gift certificate!  We actually didn’t put Ajax in a cart, but instead let him walk around the store with us.  This might have been a mistake because he was all over the place and kept taking things off shelves and lining them across aisles (cups, pans, a french press, etc).  He would then zip into tents they had set up and run around inside them.  He was very happy till it was time to leave and then he threw a terrible tantrum.

Today while we were out and about Ajax insisted on walking and then fell flat on his face and scuffed up his little nose.  He has the walking confidence down pat and does not want to be confined to a stroller or held, but just wants to explore.  What a busy little guy.
