Summer fun

We took Alex to the Ramsey County Fair last weekend. He had a good time walking around, seeing the animals, eating food. He played some games and won a couple prizes and even went on a couple of rides. He rode the carousel and went on the Giant Slide with Wil. He loved it! He got a little scared when they got to the top, but after going down it he ran up to me and said, "I want to go again!".
Yesterday we went to Lumberjack Days to see the Kurt Jorgensen Band play. It was Alex's first "concert" and he just loved it! He danced and clapped and listened to the music. It was a good time and a really nice evening for it.

Not titled as the program isn't letting me put one in. I was going to write "Raising a Nerd/Geek". Wil is a very proud geek, and I'm probably more like a nerd. Alex is learning so much, so fast that it seems like his brain will eventually get too full. But, he just keeps soaking it in. He now knows his address (He says, 1819 Ross--pauses--St. Paul--pauses--excellent!), he's almost got his phone number down (he throws in an extra number or two usually), knows his full name and that his birthday is on New Year's Eve. He remembers things that happened a while ago. He's known the ABC's, colors, shapes and numbers for some time now. It's pretty amazing!
Summer has been fun for him so far. We spent our day off on the 4th of July driving to St. Cloud in the Jeep and did some geocaching. Found 1 of 2 caches and it was Alex's first! He loved walking around in the woods and was excited to find the prize. He got a little car from the cache. We got caught in a little rain, but nothing major-there was thunder even and he did not get scared at all. It was a great day out and about.
Looking forward to more summer fun!
