Swami's Cafe and a family stroll down the pier on a beautiful, sunny day. Perfection.

Keepin it Real

Lately McKay has been completely obsessed with his Thomas the train set, he drags them around everywhere we go. The other day, he was playing in the backyard while I ran upstairs to do a load of laundry. I was probably gone for literally, a whole two minutes, when I came back downstairs stunned to find this lovely mess all over my house...

...dirt everywhere, including himself covered head to toe. At first I couldn't figure out what in the world he was thinking! But, after the initial reaction (and getting it all cleaned up), I thought it was pretty funny he was just making it more 'real'.

The culprit. (after the strip/hose down)

There's not much to get into out back. We have artificial turf, a playslide, furniture, and two pots. Guess he found the one thing of dirt to get into. Oh well, gotta laugh, shrug it off, and sometimes remind myself he really doesn't know any better. ..next time, however... ;)
