William got a pair of fire fighter (or fiwere fitewere as he calls them) boots last week. Here are some photos of the proud little Fiwere Chief putting out fires in the back yard. Now we just need the jacket and his outfit will be complete!
So proud
Wow, we had a very interesting Labor Day Weekend… Gramma and Grampa made it out for a fast last minute visit and we had a blast. We had so much fun playing together; Wm giggled all weekend at his silly Grampa. We are always glad for the family visits!
On Sunday, we headed out for the brand new public pool that has been built right across from us (literally, across the street). It was the pool’s grand opening and was only open for the weekend. It’s great though – we will be taking advantage of it all next summer. It has a splash area for kids, a zero-depth entry for little ones, diving boards, a huge competitive area, and a wave machine. We had a lot of fun (especially since our pool had to be drained this weekend due to a nasty algae bloom).
We took William for his first official haircut today. I’ve trimmed his hair a couple of times but this was his first trip to the ‘salon’. We decided to take him to a kids place to ease any fear he may have had (but ultimately I think Mike and I were much more afraid than William). We were very specific on what we did (and did not) want and tried to make sure that the stylist did not cut too much. Unfortunately, in the end the haircut was WAY too short for our liking. Mike and I were both sick over it. Our little surfer’s curls were gone…but in the end it is only hair…and it will grow back.
William has really, really been into firefighters and fire trucks lately so for our Saturday activity this weekend we surprised William with a trip to the Hall of Flame. It is one of the largest fire fighter museums in the world and it is located here in Phoenix. We had such a great time. William was so excited and he ran from engine to engine showing us all of the equipment. We were amazed at the number of engines that the museum held and the ages of some of them as well. They were magnificent. We all had a lot of fun and will be returning again in the future.
