Friday, Holly, G-man and I took a trip to Maumee Bay State Park in Oregon Ohio. We had a blast! Rather than just tell you all about our adventure, I decided to use pictures. Don't worry I threw in some captions for all the Brainiacs out there who have to read.
It was late when I posted this and Holly was asleep. Some of the pictures are sideways and I don't know how to rotate them, so if you don't mind rotating your screens counter-clockwise...Thank you.
Gideon, are you ready for a nap?
I am just kidding. We are going to the park!
I love the park Dad!
Okay, are Mom and Gideon ready?
I have always been an intrepid explorer. Just look at the hat!
Ah, look at the trash that inconsiderate patrons leave on the ground.
Oh, look Gideon, an observation tower. Let's go climb it and observe the view.
It seems so far away.
WOW! How did mom get here so fast?
At this point there was a slight run in with a swarm of Bee's, or Wasp's or some type of flying insect with a stinger and an attitude.
When I say run-in, I mean runaway. As in me hot-footing it the hell out of there. Eventually we were fine. I just had to apologize for pushing Gideon at the killer Bee's in order to save myself.
Oh, what do you see Gideon?
A caterpillar.
Now what do you see?
A deer.
Oh, look, a snake. Do you see it?
What is that?
Nice, probably from the girlfriend of the douche that was drinking in the forest.
Here we are in the Nature Building. Who can spot the owl?
Hey Gideon, I wonder how they got all these neat bird's in one place.
Oh well, let's go to the beach.
Aww, Gideon and Mommy. Aren't they cute.
Gideon loves the water!
We splashed the water then...
...we went back to our "tent" to relax before the drive home.
I love being a Dad.

And you are an awesome Dad. But...who is this Holly chick you speak of? What about *pixie*?
I always use a shotgun when I am "collecting" things. To hell with a butterfly net! Just blast the suckers with a 12 gage! However, my butterfly book only contains "butterfly parts" that I've "collected."
Hey, is that *pixie*'s sister? It looks just like her, LOL!
It appears you guys had quite a day! Makes me want to skip out of work and play with my kids all afternoon.
Pixie—My bad. But on the bright side I get a flogging tonight.
Think Frustrated— A 12-gauge is the only way to hunt creatures smaller than your thumb.
Nobody— I'm saying. I'm going to retire early.
man i wish i was there to go to the park and see all the critters too! Little G looks like he is ready to go out with granpa great story board JQ POP P
That's it - I'm skipping work, and pulling the kids out of school and we are going to the nature center near our home.... Looks like you had a great time - enjoy every minute that you can - it goes by so fast...
Fantastagirl— I know, I can't believe he is six months old already. It seems like just yesterday I was pacing around the hospital room trying to keep myself awake, alert and there for whatever Pixie needed.
Pop Papke— We wish you were here too. Pixie and I made the deer sound at the doe but it looked at us as if to say "Say What!"
