We went to the lake a couple weeks ago. U of I was having a beginners sailing class, so there were 13 sail boats on the water. We got to watch them capsize, crash into eachother, and just be beautiful on the water. We first took the canoe out. Wally wanted to paddle along with the sail boats. We thought better of it and just paddled all the way around them.
After a picnic on the shore watching the sail boats, Joel and Wally did some fishing, while I throroughly enjoyed just sitting and watching and enjoying the sun. Though there aren't mountains, it is hard to beat a sunny day at the lake watching sail boats and fishing.
After a lesson from Dad, Wally tried fishing. I made him a pole out of a stick, some fishing line from the shore, and a rock. (We just found his real SpongeBob fishing pole the other day). 
My boys are quite the fishermen.

No fish were caught that day, but Wally apparently caught posion ivy. Last week I noticed he had a couple "bug bites" on his leg that he had scratched and were open. I kept and eye on them, and one seemed to get infected. We tried antibiotic ointment on them, but they just weren't getting better, they were getting worse. Thinking of MRSA, I decided to take him to the doctor. She took one look at it and said, "He has poison ivy!" What?!?!? All we can figure is that he got into it at the lake and that it took 1-2 weeks to show up. Since then, he has gotten a few more small spots on his legs, but the steroid cream the doctor gave us is clearing it up nicely.
We figure Wally is old enough to help around the house. After meals, his job is to put away hot pads and dips. He is really good at helping, though sometimes, it takes a while to get the dips into the refrigerator...

Wally got a train whistle and and engineer's hat at Sander's birthday party. What perfect party favors! Wally loves his hat. Here, he is wearing PJs with a cape and his engineer's hat, blowing his whistle, and playing with is trains. Can life get better?
