Summertime, and the living is easy

Hello all! Sorry for the short “drought” of Roman’s Empire posts, there were some technically difficulties with our equipment. (Well, Nana went on a whirlwind vacation/visit tour and took our camera since hers is medieval!). Anyway, we’re back on air and happy to see you all again.

This weekend, the family went to DeKalb Peachtree Airport to view the annual airshow. Though Roman was a little young to partake in all the fun, and there was a lot of fun to be had, he did enjoy the “ai-pains”.

As you can see in the video below, the pilots were some daredevils, and Maurice and I agreed that stunt pilot should be added to the growing list of professions Roman is NOT allowed to consider. Still, sitting on the runway and watching the show, followed by a Sno Cone and hot dog, made for an excellent afternoon!

Not wanting to slow down the party, our neighbors invited us poolside in the late afternoon to enjoy the gorgeous weather. Roman rarely turns down a chance to see his crush Sofia, so this was a perfect opportunity.

Mommy was too worn out from the air show to get in the pool, but Daddy happily obliged. Which was good, bc the two of them were quite a matching pair in their swim trunks and farmer’s tans.

Sunday was as beautiful as Saturday was, so we spent the late afternoon at a park near our house. Its our favorite best-kept secret, since its on a school campus and in the summer is virtually empty of visitors. That lets our little tyrant run the show like the emperor-in-training that he is. Included in his new phenomenon of climbing on everything.

And his need to personally handle all aspects of his playtime, even if this means examining a swing rather than actually swinging in it! Too independent to get help…wonder where he gets THAT from?

Or our favorite antic – needing to push ANYTHING with wheels! This includes garbage cans, his own stroller, stationary coolers and his father’s car. The school’s tricycles made for a great toy and he even let mommy push him around a bit for this one.

All in all, we had a wonderful weekend welcoming in summer. Hope you did too!
