Fun at the Farm, Part 1

Tyler and I met Kevin at Jones’ for lunch today.  Tyler had a blast playing in their kid’s area, which has a sandbox, kid-sized furniture and a chalk board.  As you can see from the first two pics, his favorite “trick” right now is showing people his tongue. 🙂 4270 4264 4243

I Can Hear it Now…
