henry and his flutterbuddies

This past weekend henry's gramma deb and john came to play with him in sioux falls!  what a lucky guy :) we went to the butterfly house and then we went swimming! I forgot how awesome the butterfly house is--so neat--if you haven't been there, you really do need to check it out.  At first, henry just stood and stared at all the little winged creatures as they fluttered around him and said "ooooo" over and over.  eventually, however, the novelty wore off as it usually does and he started running around like a wild man :)  mommy also had quite a bit of fun photographing henry's new little friends

 "ooooooo"  daddy had to hold henry's hands some of the time so that he wouldn't reach out and grab any, which was against the rules :)

 just taking it all in

 watching flutterbuddies with gramma

 there's a few munching on some orange slices...one of henry's favorite snacks.  I wonder which he's reaching for.  the butterflies or the food...

 hehe, this little butterfly was very sneaky, he hung out right under henry's nose.

 me and my boy---love love love love love him.

we had so much fun!  sorry no pool pictures.  I decided to join in the fun and go swimming with my boys rather than hang out on the sidelines and document it :)  thanks deb and john for the fun day!

ps--check out those big boy shoes henry has on!  we got him new shoes that day because his old ones disappeared (i do have a very vague memory of setting them on top of the car while out running errands--hey! its hard to monitor every little thing like that when you've got a little one with you!) but it doesn't really matter too much i guess, as they wouldn't fit him any more anyway--they were a size three and he's now a size five and half!!!  yikes--i hope we can keep up!
