Underwater Comps
I took these shots of Trey at the pool with a Canon Rebel in two ziplock bags. Unfortunately the bags weren’t as clear as I had hoped so the images were pretty hazy. With a bit of post-processing I was pretty happy with the grainy film look I was able to get – almost like something from a Holga or Lomo.

The World of Giant Insects (MAS)
Macon’s Museum of Arts & Science is currently showing a new exhibit about bugs that features huge animatronic insects. When Trey and I attended last week for the opening he was a bit nervous at first when a giant mantid started swinging its pinchers around. After a while he realized the critters weren’t moving off their stands and he was fascinated by them.
In between repeat visits to the giant insect hall we also toured the mini-zoo, watched the planetarium presentation, and attended a hands-on animal demonstration. We had a good enough time that we bought an annual pass so that we can return with mommy soon.

Climbing, Reading
Two of Trey’s favorite activites of late are climbing (walls, trees, ropes, fences, you name it) and reading (whether it’s us reading to him, books on tape, or him just looking at the pictures). Things were pretty quiet in his room yesterday morning so I peeked in to see this sight:
First Bike Ride
Trey has had a push bike, a scooter, and a tricycle for some time now. I honestly hadn’t even considered the idea of letting him try a real bike with training wheels. The thought just hadn’t crossed my mind.
At some friends’ house this 4th of July weekend Trey got a chance to try a 12″ bike out. We were all really impressed with how quickly he caught and mastered the pedaling, turning, and braking.
I’ve already started browsing our local Craig’s List for a used bike.
Play Dates Provide Relief
We’ve registered Trey for a 4K program at Mabel White Baptist Church but classes don’t start until the end of August. So there are quite a few 99 degree days of summer between now and then. That’s where having a great church family comes in!
Several of the parents from our Sunday School class get together each week for a morning play date. It’s a great break for both the kids and the parents. Depending on whose house we are at, sometimes they play outside, swim, or hang out and play indoors. One thing is for sure – Trey is always thrilled to have a new slew of toys to play with (yesterday he had a dragon fighting with a girl’s sparkly unicorn).
Here are some photos from our get-together last week.
