cole likes watermelon. then again, who doesn't?? when we got his baby food mill, it came with this little mesh bag on a handle... munchkin makes it. i'd been told about it but never got one... as it turns out, this little dealy-ma-bob is pretty neat; great for fruits, like, oh, i don't know...watermelon! glad he likes it, the only thing is that his favorite hobby now is throwing things. i swear, he tries for record distance with everything! cute, mostly! 
(melon-in-a-bag!)kelvin's parents came back to the area on friday afternoon, so we went out for supper at the ihop in town. i had a club sandwich- it was super, but unfortunately i didn't finish it- slight nausea hit me halfway through. bummer- i wanted to finish, but decided it would be better not to attempt it. appetite was there though!
yesterday (saturday) we all went to yuma, which is on the border of arizona and california. the country there is so rugged and beautiful! the yuma territorial prison state park is less than a mile east of california, so that gives you all an idea of where we were. it's also not that far north of mexico... the prison is now a state park and is right next to the colorado river. it was in operation as a prison from 1876 to the 1909 (i THINK it was 1909... for some reason, 33 years sticks in my head). there are a few places to walk around, and there's a bunch of neat stuff on display in the museum. we spent a good hour and a half there- we decided to call it a day because it was about 105 and cole was getting hungry... so were we!
the first picture is the entrance to yuma prison, the next one is the cell that they have all fixed up as it was in the prison days. i had one of cole peeking through an iron grid (one of the gates), but accidentally deleted it when i was trying to get these all reorganized- i will repost it another day! it's cute- he did SO well, walking around in the heat. he stayed hydrated- he actually used his sippy cup! see, when he gets desperate enough, he'll do it... that was my theory and sure enough, that's the way it went down.
(cole was helping unload the dishes on friday...)
so, we had a busy weekend. like i said before, cole did really well, especially since he's still feeling congested and just generally cranky. now i've got the bug too... greetings from wisconsin, huh? as i always say, better the worst cold in history than the intestinal flu... and that would be the silver lining in our congested, coughing and sneezing cloud.
