A late night visit to G & G Bennett's house
We stopped in to visit Grandma and Grandpa Bennett last night about 9:45. Sam had a late nap from 5-7 and we figured who better to wear him out than Grandma Donna!!! He was enjoying all of the love and attention!
Hugs, Hugs, Hugs!!!
Our friends Jim and Jean Snyder stopped by for a visit last night and Sam was happy to see them! For those of you who don't know, Jean is our "banana bread" and "Frog Song" friend. She keeps our tummies and our hearts full!
2006 Air Show
We ventured out to the Air Show on Saturday afternoon and had a great time. Sam LOVED the sound of the Blue Angels zooming by. We were not sure how he would respond to the noise, but I guess the sound of planes wizzing by your head is pretty unique and can't be duplicated. Sam had his picture taken with a pilot who grew up in Sioux Falls and got to fly his own plane home for the show. Apparently, that doesn't happen very often. We also checked out a "handi" plane as we called it! This would be the first plane Sam has ever been in and probably the last if his daddy has anything to say about it! While we were looking at the plane, we had some people approach us to ask if Sam had Microcephaly. Turns out that he and his family had just returned home from Isreal, where they fitted two little boys with Microcephaly for wheelchairs. They went as a part of the Hope Haven group from Iowa. He also mentioned how happy those children were, despite their poor living conditions. It's interesting how life's events bring people together. Sam was a very good boy and can now add an air show to his list of life's experiences!

Challenged Children Day at the Zoo
We had a great day at the zoo today! Grandma Donna joined Sam, myself and his class from Anne Sullivan for Challenged Children Day at the zoo. Kids from all over town experienced the sights, sounds and smells of the animals. They also received a free t-shirt and lunch. We had beautiful weather and happy attitudes.
Tractors on Parade
Each year Larry, Patrick and Jeff ride the beautiful red tractors in the Watertown 4th of July parade. Sometimes also known as the "tractor parade" by the girls!

Adventures in Watertown!
We spent Saturday thru Tuesday in Watertown visiting family and had a great time! Sam was not a great sleeper, but that is no surprise! He was a good boy and tried some new adventures. The above pics are of boating on Lake Kampeska with Mommy, Daddy and Grandpa Larry. Sam seemed to enjoy being in the boat and especially feeling the wind on his face. I would say in his hair, but he got a buzz on Friday! Our friend Paige cut his hair and did a fabulous job with him! Jeff and Larry took in a round of golf on Sunday and Jeff shot an 82! They had a great time and enjoyed the outdoors and each other. We also attended the 4th of July parade, but no pics of that yet! Stay tuned!
