Nelson Family Reunion

Yesterday we went to a big Nelson family reunion. Basically, we didn't know anyone except for Aaron's grandparents. But there was a playground and a river and good food. We left before the main event, an auction, because Morgan was being a handful. It was hard to keep tabs on him, and to keep him out of the way of others. We even tried taking his shoes off of him to dissuade him from running from the covered pavilion, but it didn't work as we had planned.

Morgan loved this tractor, or ATV or whatever it's supposed to be. He called it a car. He would rock back and forth while saying, "Wee, wee, wee, wee!"

A twirly slide. Morgan hasn't had much experience with them. I don't know if he was a fan.

We found a really shallow part of the river, (creek?) and played. We left our shoes on, but took our socks off. Morgan ended up sitting down without warning, so he got his shorts soaked! That's okay though, it was a hot day and they were dry in no time.
Throwing rocks into water is probably Morgan's all time favorite thing to do.


Here we have the water spigot. When we weren't at the playground or the river, Morgan wanted to be here. There was usually a bunch of other kids there too. So, although his pants dried from the river, when we took him home he was soaked from playing in the water here.

I wonder why kids love water so much.
