While running errands after Adam’s photos, we drove past a back-to-school celebration at a local church. It wasn’t for our school, or our church, or even our religion, but we stopped anyway (Dave did double check that it was open to the public).

Adam and Luke both loved the firetruck. Adam talked to one of the firemen for a while and told him that he was “pretty sure” he could drive the truck.

The bounce houses were why we stopped. They had four or five. Luke spotted them as we drove by and said, “Luke go play?” They also had a bunch of carnival type games and the boys got a piece of candy for each one they did.

There was a man making balloon animals (or airplanes in Adam’s case) as well.

It was an unexpectedly fun way to spend some time tonight. Adam has already asked if we can go back next time.

Adam had his 5 year portraits this afternoon.

I was so proud of the Lego sign I made during rest time today. When I asked Adam if he liked it, he told me, “Not really. It’s sort of terrible.” Everyone’s a critic.

Later, when the photographer asked him if he could pretend to be building the sign, he asked if he could really take two bricks off, so he could fix it.

He did a great job listening to the photographer and doing what he was told. I wish I would have had her take a couple of pictures without the props. I mean, who needs that plain boring #5 when you have one made out of legos?
