Outside fun

Sorry for the delayed posts, friends! My card reader died and I haven't been able to download my pictures. Once I did, I found a few more pictures from our fun afternoon playing outside in the firetruck. He actually looked at the camera! Yay!!
My attempt at a daddy/son shot. Scott is infamous for having his eyes closed in pictures, and it looks like Karsten might be following in his footsteps. I took several shots of this pose, and each of them had their eyes shot in one pic. This was the best one of the bunch - wouldn't it have been cute!
Karsten had a great time walking along the rock wall. He was concentrating so hard!
Peeking through the fence to see the dog next door who was barking at him.
Having fun running around the backyard. Have you ever seen Sid the Science Kid? We think Karsten runs a bit like Sid - waving his arms around, running erratically, looking like he might topple over. For this reason, I was holding my breath as Karsten ran through the backyard - I always fear he is going to fall and hurt himself (more than the standard bumps and bruises).
These rocks are going to provide endless fun for Karsten and angst for me. I see lots of rock climbing and tumbles off the rocks in our future.
Every so often Karsten finds his belly button - we say that it resets him.

I don't remember what caused him to make this expression but it makes me smile each time I see it.
He found something he thought was exciting on the wall.
Then Scott found something I did not think was exciting hiding between the rocks. A SNAKE! Actually two small snakes wound together. Ewwwww!! Scott says they're gartner snakes and they're supposedly 'good' because they eat bugs and stuff. I guess if they stay hidden in the rocks and away from us, I can agree that they're 'good', but if they come out and bother any of us, my opinion will quickly change!
