One of Holt's favorite activities is helping Jonathan in the yard. The other day Holt helped Jonathan till up the back yard to put sod down. It made my day watching Jonathan and Holt out back on a Sunday afternoon with their shirts off pushing that tiller around. Jonathan wouldn't allow any pictures, but you can imagine. For Christmas this year we got Holt a Gator, and that little vehicle has come in pretty handy for yard work. We can load stuff in the back and let Holt drive to the front yard for garbage pick up. I will attach a few pictures of the boys working in the yard. We have come a long way from the days of Holt riding on Jonathan's shoulders to mow the yard.
One other update, without pictures unfortunately, Holt and I went up to visit my mom at the end of May for Holt's end of the year school field trip to the zoo and we ended up riding the monorail over to mud island around letting Holt walk down the Mississippi. He loved getting to play and splash in the river replica and finding the different cities along the way. His favorite part was having me paddle him around the "gulf of Mexico" the pool at the foot of the replica. We were all exhausted, but had an awesome time. I recommend Mud Island to many for a cheap and really fun trip for little and big kids.
