The Peters Boys: March 2009

Teddy was showing his Irish spirit today by wearing some green!

Speaking of green, the coming Spring season makes me think of green. Soon, the buds will be coming out on the trees and the browns and greys of winter will be transformed into the bright, new greens of Spring!! We have loved the warmer temperatures and are taking every opportunity we can to get outside. This weekend, Teddy and I both had a chance to help Daddy outside with some yard work.

Here is Teddy all ready to head out with Daddy.

He got to take his first tractor ride! Notice the ear protection that is really protecting his entire head. It was funny when he tried to smile...he looked like he was doing "Chubby Baby".

I helped Daddy change the oil on the tractor and take the first ride around the yard to make sure all was working well!!

I have tons of pictures to show you because I have had tons of fun this week!! Now that we are all healthy again, we were able to plan some fun activities with family and friends!

We started the week off by going to the National Strong Museum of Play in Rochester. My Grammie Peterson drove up with Mom, Teddy and I. We met Aunt Shel Shel, Cohen, Cooper and Gram Gram Peters there. It is a super fun place...all geared around PLAY! I'm really good at that, so it was a great place for me! I would have been happy with just a few of the many amazing things and areas to play with. It was a little overwhelming trying to enjoy them all in just a day!

One of my favorite spots, the big fishy tank! Here is me (left) and my cousin Cohen (right)watching the fish.

They have a mini-sized Wegman's there, and it even had a baby area for Teddy and Cooper to play in.

This was by far, my FAVORITE place in the whole museum. It was a HUGE train table!! There was a big train to ride, but I just wanted to play with these little trains.

My next favorite spot was the big helicopter. You could run up a ramp and into the cockpit and push the red button to make it sound like you were really flying. This was right next to the train table, so I spent some time with each adult as they just let me run from one back to the other

In one area, there was a sand box, but not with real sand. It was like a plastic sand. I had fun playing in here with my cousins and Teddy. We shoveled, pour, dug and sifted.

Back to the fish tank! We saw them quite often since they were out near the bathrooms and food court. Here is Gram Gram with Cooper.

Check this out!! Do you see me back there? I was behind this wall with all bubbles floating up. So COOL!!

I made other friends that day too. I don't know their names, but I wasn't shy about climbing into any toy with anybody!

Besides lunch, this is probably the only other time I sat down. It was to play with some building stuff with Gram Gram.

Near the end of our day, we went into a super fun room that had a great baby area for Teddy and Cooper. It had this really neat wall with different little doors you could peek through. Here is Teddy peeking through at Mom Mom with her camera.

See all the little windows!

Right before we left, I got to ride the Merry-go-round with Grammie Peterson. I was so tired by this time, I just kind of stared off into space. It almost lured me to sleep.

That was the start of our super fun week, but it didn't end there. On Tuesday, Mom's friend Brooke and her daughter, Ava came to visit. They stayed with us for a couple days. It was fun having another playmate in the house. Ava is about the same age as Teddy. I really liked having her here. It was fun to wake up and go see her.

On Wednesday, I decided to take Brooke and Ava to the PRC...another favorite spot of mine to play! Here is Brooke, Ava and Teddy over in the baby area, playing a little peek-a-boo.
