Father's day eve- lets play in the rain while mummy runs a race!

Dearest darling wife is doing awesomely as a runner- completing her second 5K in about a month in a faster time over a harder course. While waiting on our very own Mary Decker-Slaney, Team Country Mouse bided our time on a wet and slightly terrifying playset near the finish line:

This playset won't sail itself.

Hey dad! want me to jump down this huge drop with no railing just in front of me, out of shot, while you scramble to put the camera away? No?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The flying JDog

Even faster...

What could be better...

...then a good friend on a beautiful day?

Happy Birthday Dear Scout, Happy Birthday To You!
When you're a two year old you get to do cool things like eat cake (and go berserk afterward. Sugar rush!)

Yeah for presents. Thank You!!!

She especially liked opening the cards. Oh how that will change going forward.

On Sunday, with Dan busy at the home and design show, Scout and I went to the beach. When we decided to go it was a beautiful sunny day. By the time we were loaded up and ready the sky had darkened and threatend rain. We were inspired by Leaning Apple and went anyway. We have rain coats so let's use them. So glad we went for it was a fun way to kick off Scout's birthday extravaganza.

The "wadda"

This is how a two year old digs!
