Jang Family Blog: July and August

With a new baby and a new house, we all had to adapt to our new family and home. But we tried to take advantage of the summer months and all the activities they offer. We had heard that they had a dinosaur exhibit at the state fair so we decided to be adventurous and go. We are not state fair people, but our son is quite enamored with dinosaurs so we felt we had to go. They are basically....dinosaur robots. At first he seemed pretty fascinated. Mouth wide open, speechless. He was fine with the T. rex, brontosaurus, triceraptos...but somewhere in the middle he decided he was scared. To the point where he just wanted to cover his eyes (as seen below)

After the dinosaurs (which we went to first) he wasn't really into much else. We saw a fire engine, but he wasn't too into it. Saw some animals, not so much. We finally showed him a train ride and he finally perked up. So we decided to go ahead and sell a kidney and buy tickets for this little train ride. Let this boy have a little fun. You can't really tell from the picture, but he loved it.

We kept Anderson in daycare (or school as we call it around here) and sometimes he comes back a little messy. He is very into his art. We also live next to some strawberry farms. Sometimes, on my way to pick up Anderson from school, Lauren and I will stop by one of the strawberry stands and pick up a flat to eat for dessert. Unfortunately, Anderson will sometimes spy this flat of strawberries when he gets in the car, heads straight for them and stuff as many in his mouth as he can until I strap him into his carseat. So sometimes, he will come home looking like this:
(not sure if you can see it, but there is paint all over his shirt and hair and he's got strawberry juice on his face)
