After we had pizza, we decided to walk around the square of Mike's hometown. Brody and Barrett crawled around for a while on one of the benches that Mike made for the square when he was in high school. It's always neat for me to see these benches and know that Mike made them!
Mike was excited to see (in the pictures when we got home) that there were finally some flowering vines growing on the trellis. That was in his original plan, however, this is the first time we've visited and actually seen anything growing on them. The purple flowers were beautiful!
Before long the boys found something more interesting than a bench...a toad! They chased the toad around for 15-20 minutes.
Every time they touched the toad it made whoever touched it jump (of course it made the toad jump too) and then everyone would die laughing!
A picture of Barrett's belly laugh from the back (notice how he arches his back and sticks out his belly to laugh really hard!)
Brody laughing so hard he was almost crying! Barrett looks ready to pull out his six shooters and just shoot the toad!
When the toad finally eluded the boys, we crossed the street to the park in the middle of the square. There were many things there to get the attention of little boys...
When the splashing in the fountain got intense, we took the boys' shirts off so they'd have something dry to wear home!
Brody decided to run down the sidewalk to the fountain...
then Barrett wanted to run with him. Notice Brody has his hands in the the "I didn't push him!" defensive position and Barrett is looking back and me and Grammy to make sure we saw that Brody pushed him down!
One time when Brody ran back to the fountain to splash he fell in head first! Thankfully he caught himself before he went all the way in...but he was soaked!!!
Much to the boys dismay, we finally decided it was time to go.

Those are some great pictures of the boys laughing. Looks like a great trip.
What a great day and such great pictures of the boys- looks like they had SO much fun!
Did you get a new camera? Those pictures are so vivid and the colors are brilliant. I feel like I am sitting there. They are really the prettiest pictures you have ever posted!
That looks like so much fun! I've been thinking about the time we took the Durango-Silverton train when I was little, and I definitely want to go back when Witten is old enough to remember it.
How lucky to get to see the cattle drive in addition to the train ride!
