Increase In Vocabularies
Breetz vocabulary has increased just this afternoon he said, "duck" for the first time. He now also says ni nite, bye bye, upa, down, more, tickle tickle tickle and on. Gio has gotten him to say other things like car but they just haven't stuck.
Gio is picking up new words and phrases all the time. He remembers EVERYTHING!
Last night the moon was very bright and redish. "Oh the moon is beautiful. Gio come see." I said. Tonight he looks out his bedroom window and says something like "Oh look, the moon is just beautiful."
Gio has also started playing with words. He will take a word and change it slightly then try using it that way. Sometimes he tries it out on me. Other times he just repeats it to himself over and over usually in a sing songy sort of way. Sometimes the word changes more and more as he continues to repeat it. Then he may say something like "Mama what did I just say?"
The boys also go back and forth repeating sounds to each other. They both seem to enjoy this activity.

A Visit To...
Please click here for their website.
This very nice man had feathers in the shape of an owl's face on the back of his costume. It's hard to see but he actually has an owl perched on his left hand.
If you gave this bird a dollar he would put it in a black box. This was a fun way to give to a great cause. I give Hawk Creek a lot of credit because the do not receive any government funding and all the "staff" are volunteers. 
This young lady had some kind of bird of prey. I don't recall the name. 
Most of the Renaissance costumes we saw were soo gorgeous. I especially liked the back of this one. It flowed so beautifully.
There was a tent that painted henna tattoos for $5. It's hard to see in the picture but it had sparkles on it. 
One of the belly dancers just couldn't get enough of Breetz. She just thought he was the cutest and I have to agree:-). 
Happily walking around carrying a henna reference book.
Every few hours there was a play that took place called The Fractured Fairytale. We tried to see it but there wasn't enough seating, we had to watch in the hot sun, and most importantly the boy's attention span was just too short. 
Looking high and low for the snake. 
A loud gun shot like sound boomed through the air and this Andean Condor got all bent out of shape.
Sunning himself 
"Dude let me outa here!!" 
" Can I brush you?" 
"I saw you at Springdale Farm."
