Today Ryken got to have a friend over to play for a few hours. Our friends Gina and Kameron asked us if we could watch their little guy Porter for awhile while they got some things done that would be easier done with out a little one there with them. So we were up for the challenge. : ) But it wasn't a challenge at all. Only our kid like always. : ) Ryken and Porter ended up playing pretty good together. There was a few times that they didn't want to share the toys and they both decided they would rather drink the others sippy cup instead of their own. But nothing to major. We decided to get out of the house for a little while and go play in the backyard since it was nice out. The boys seemed to have a good time playing with the basketball and football. Well Ryken decided to go and stand by one of the trees and watch Porter and Justin play around with the football. Well after awhile he started fussing. At first I thought he was just being a stink pot cause he didn't want to walk in the rocks. But I was looking a little closer and saw something on his leg. So I ran over to him and there was like 50 little ants crawling all over his legs and shoes. They were biting him! I grabbed him and had to hit all the ants off of him and take his shoes off. And this is was the result on one of his legs... (the bites are kinda hard to see but they are there.)
Both of his legs got bitten and I was a bit surprised that he didn't cry about it more. But he actually was ready to go back and play some more.
(Oh and I went and got some ant killer and sprayed the crap out of those stupid things. : ) ) Ryken and Porter had a little fun running after the balls and just being outside. 
I guess here Ryken was trying to get away from Porter before he got the ball. : )
Porter looks like a little football player here. Running with the ball to make a touchdown. : )
I guess Ryken got tired of playing ball so he decided to use it as a little seat to rest on. : )
After we were outside for awhile we went in for a little snack. And after that I was trying to find something to keep them entertained for a little longer. So we found Ryken's ball popper machine.
And lets just say they sure liked it. It was one thing that they could both play together. And not get to upset with each other. And they thought it was fun that they could chase the balls that popped out of it. : ) Oh to be a little kid again and be so entertained by the littlest things.
