My three year old and I like to...

Drive around and look for construction vehicles!! :) Yep. That's what Cory and I do for fun when the weather is so scorching hot that you'd literally melt being outside, or if it's stormy and raining. We usually make a swing into Starbucks first. One iced vanilla latte for mommy, one apple juice box for the boy. It's "our thing" and I LOVE it.

There is a ton of road construction going on near our house along with a bunch of houses going up in a newer development so between the two we have a wide array of all things construction. No matter how many times we drive by Cory gets just as excited as he did the time before...and the time before that...and the time before that. :) We have some of the best conversations, just him and I, about all kinds of things we see while driving. I love driving and enjoying the alone time with my boy. No radio. No TV. No whining and fussing. Just me and my three year old having "real" conversation and learning about the world around it.

It's just one of those things, one of those special memories that I will treasure forever. I hope that he enjoys it as much as I do and will remember it when he's 18, or 25, or even almost 30 years old and has a child of his own.
