Catching Up
Yes, I know it's been a while since I've uploaded anything to the Little Man Evan blog, but it's not because nothing's happened. In fact, we've had a pretty eventful spring and summer. Below is a bunch of photos to help you catch up on Evan's summer so far.
I spent a week working as a volunteer on the Appalachian Trail back in June. Apparently, while I was gone, Kim broke a few child labor laws.
Evan was paid in tiger makeup. Kim did his face and he got to decorate hers and Mimi's.
I came back with temporary tattoos. Evan was very proud of his. His worried about it coming off every time he took a bath and checked my arm daily to make sure mine was still on.
The kid likes camping, but he HATES gnats. We camped with Mimi and Granddaddy at Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park near Cordele so I could run a 5K race there as a warmup for the Peachtree Road Race 10K race I ran on July 4 in Atlanta. It's a great state park, but camping in late June in south Georgia comes with some disadvantages.
After the race we stopped at the train depot in the park to watch the SAM Shortline train drop off passengers. During the train's stop Evan got to talk to the conductors...
And managed to charm his way onto the train.
Earlier that day Evan got to cross the finish line at the Loop the Lake 5K. He didn't run the entire race, but honestly, as much as that kid likes to run, he probably could have.
I'm not as cute, but I had a personal record in the 5K at this race. Three and a half minutes off my time from back in March.
The next weekend we were in Atlanta for the Fourth of July and the Peachtree Road Race. Evan spent some time in the pool. He even convinced Yia Yia and Papou to get in the pool with him.
On the Monday after the holiday, we went to Bodies: The Exhibition at Atlantic Station, which Evan loved. He was fascinated by the bodies. After that, we took him to the children's museum next to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke.
We played a little in the sand box, which had some sort of weird sand that could be molded into shaped.
We played a little in the electricity generating exhibits.
And went fishing for plastic fish. The kid had a blast.
