Toys & Adventures

A couple weekends ago, we took another trip up to the lake to see my parents. Milo absolutely loves going to the lake, and there is no wonder why! Every time he goes, my mom has another toy waiting for him and "Papa" has another adventure for him.

The latest toy is a miniature 4-wheeler ("tac-ta") that my mom got for Milo because he is OBSESSED with riding the real "tac-ta" with my dad. Every time my dad stops the 4-wheeler when they are riding together, Milo says and signs "mo" (more). They were on the 4-wheeler so long last time we visited that Milo fell asleep on it WHILE THEY WERE RIDING!

It even has vanity plates!

Chillin' with Daddy (Grandma got him his own Adirondack chair!)

The latest adventure for Milo is riding in the various boats we have at the lake. My parents finally got their pontoon boat in the water while we were there, and Milo really enjoyed driving the boat with Papa (although I think he prefers the 4-wheeler more because he doesn't have to wear a life jacket). Tod and I also cleaned up a paddle boat that we haven't used for years, so we took Milo for a ride in that as well. He had a lot of fun, and when we got to shore, he wanted "mo." Next time we visit, he'll have to try out the fishing boat!

Not a huge fan of his life jacket, even though it has "ca" (cars) on it

The funniest thing about Milo when he is on his various adventures (riding the "tac-ta," driving the "bo," going for a "rye" (bike ride) with Mommy and Daddy, etc.) is that he always has this totally serious look on his face. If you didn't know better, you'd think he wasn't having fun. But as soon as you stop, he says and signs "mo," and gets upset if the adventure doesn't continue, so we know that he just loves these things. It's hilarious!

Always this look...too cool for school
