Evening routine

As a regular reader, you're probably aware that we head over to the Regis University campus nearly every evening to walk the dog and have adventures. Today's pictures are two of our favorite activities while over there.

The first two shots are us sitting politely while watching women's basketball practice. The steps we're on are right near the team's water bottles so it's extra exciting when the coach calls for a break and all the players come over to say hi.

On the way back home from the gym, we often get to stop for some rock climbing! John starts to hop up and down in the stroller when he realizes that's where we're heading.

We need to write these things down

Another installment of recent random conversations:

While stopped at a traffic light on the way to the zoo -
Tess: "That sign over there says Do Not Enter."

Dad: "Did you learn that at school?"

Tess: "I sure did!"

We were downtown at the art museum a couple weekends ago and Dad pulled into an intersection to make a left turn while the light was green. Well, we had to wait for so much oncoming traffic that the light turned red before he was able to sneak through. I took notice.

Tess: "Dad! That light was red and you didn't stop!"

A few minutes later while pulling up to a 4-way stop:
Tess: "Are you going to stop at that stop sign?"

The next day on the way to school:
Tess: "Dad, are you going to stop at the red lights today?"

That's when Dad taught me the definition of backseat driver.

After waking up first from a nap, I was standing outside John's door and Dad was around the corner. I asked if I should open his door.
Dad: "Well, is John up?"
Tess: "Yes, I hear his snoring."

And then I proceeded to open his door and wake him up before Dad could explain the situation.

Dad had started us on supper and he was back in the kitchen filling up our milk glasses, so it was just the two kids at the table for a short moment.

Tess: "He said it! He said it!"

[Dad walks back into the dining room]

Dad: "What did he say?"
Tess: "John said vagina."
Dad: "Oh. Where did he learn that from?"
Tess: "Umm...maybe because of me?"

Truck spotting

On Saturdays and Sundays it's usually just the guys that head out on a morning walk with Keillor.

John has a favorite destination.

Sports bar

Helping Dad watch the Badger game and Ryder Cup at the same time.

Library

We made a quick trip down to the big central library after gymnastics on Saturday. We only had about a half hour and there was way to much to do! Return trip planned for Saturday. 

Tractors

Found these on campus last week!

Stamped

John was rewarded with a bath later in the evening after stamping his face one too many times.
