Its gotta be the shoes

We spent the 4th of July with Heather's family in Farmington. This was a lot of fun. Heather's Dad, Max took me fishing on the Weber River near Coalville, UT. Max ended up catching three whitefish, at least two of which were of considerable size. My only fish was a very small brown, maybe 10-11 inches. I was glad that I didn't get completely stumped. I did however forget to reapply sunscreen on my arms and got toasted a bit. We came home from fishing and I ended up taking a nap while Max worked in the yard. He is so good to keep things up our their place.

In the evening we played HORSE. I was first out in the first game, but then managed to do a little better in the next game. We also enjoyed playing Chicken Foot with dominoes. We also found that Christian loves to walk in his walker outside. We put him down in socks and figured he would be okay. He loved running around so much he wore holes in his socks(pictured below). We also caught this action on video, and while the lighting is less than optimum, our footage indicates well Christian on the go. After Christian wore through his socks and skinned up his toes, Julie had a good idea: use duct tape and make shoes! Thus the mobility continued, and so did our little boy's fun. The next day we went and bought real shoes so Christian could continue with his walking pursuits. Be sure to check back soon, because the new shoes will be featured in blog coming to a web browser near you!!!
