"Hiking is Fun! I Wanna go Fishin'."

That's what Sam said after our hike yesterday morning. :) He must have listened when we were talking about when Ben could take Sam fishing. Anyway, he had a great time on our hike. I think he made the observation "that tree fell down!" about 50 times throughout the hike. And he wore his new zoo hat Nana got him, which served him well because it was really sunny. After our hike we had a picnic and then headed over to Lunken to watch the planes fly in and out.

"I wanna touch the water." He thought the mud was pretty cool.

Guess what? This tree fell down.

"I jump!" He jumped off each one of these.

A sprinkler was on in one of the gardens, so we stood there and got sprayed.

"I'm running!" Sam doing his favorite pastime. He even persuaded me to run with him.

During lunch, a guy pulled up on a motorcycle and met his family who came separately to have a picnic. Sam was really interested and we asked if it was okay for Sam to go over and look at it. He was really nice and even offered to let Sam sit on it. When Ben picked him up to sit him on it, Sam burst into tears! We couldn't believe it - he was finally going to get the chance to sit on one and he freaked out! He said, "I scared of the mokeycycle." He's clearly distressed in this picture. Ben's laughing at him...
