Waiting for warmer weather

He is looking forward to warmer weather

His new way to wave

Getting squished by Dad

Looking out the window takes focus

Playing with the manatee, it squeaks

A box arrived for Dad, Mason had to check it out, rip off the label, and climb on it. Good thing it was not fragile.

Having a ball

Mall Fun

He looks like a pro behind the wheel

A big race car

Two handed driving

Looks like he has driven before

On the carousel with Grandpa

He can drive them all, no problem

Spring Vacation in Macomb

Checking out the hotel bed, so much fun

Looks ready to defend his territory. I think he likes the bed and knows he will not be sleeping in it.

First trip to Uncle Randy's shop, All About Mowers

All mowers and equipment could have been marked inspected by Mason by the time we left. (also by Dad)

Pausing for a little bit of business

Even though he had the whole mower shop to check out he was still excited when he saw his wagon there every day.

A cool hat from Uncle Randy

Checking out every tire.

Driving the big tractor

Mason met a new friend, the shop cat named Mower, he really liked Mower.

Sitting on the backhoe

Grandma, Mason, Mower, and Uncle Randy, quite the quartet

Oh man it was so exciting, everything had wheels

Reading up on the Stihl equipment

Checking the deck wheels

I think he has got the hang of it, just waiting for someone to start it for him.

Not one bolt unnoticed

Swimming at the hotel, pictures got a little foggy

He loves the water

Did we mention that Mason loved Mower? Mower was very tolerant of Mason

The wagon fit right in at the shop, but did not look very big in comparison to some of the equipment, maybe some bigger tires are in order?

I think he is ready to start mowing, sitting still has its limits

Went through all the brands of mowers, each had their fun features

Tried out safety equipment as well

A mower shop creation, picture dedicated to Uncle Randy and Hank

What a great week in Macomb, many thanks to Great Grandma Donna, Uncle Randy, Aunt Janice, and of course Mower the cat.

A little less sleepless in Allendale

He knows where his belly is and is not afraid to show it.

Close to scooting around on his car.

Out for a walk with Mom

This is the "I am up to no good and got caught" smile

Always a little extra ham, he can get very goofy

Likes to snuggle with Mom and Dad, mostly likes to get mauled

He wanted to play with it and any help is nice when it comes to cleaning

He loves that the handle gets shorter for his use

Mason and Mom watching the final Discovery shuttle launch

Mason and Grandma, that little pointer is always going

Mason's wagon with a few upgrades, walnut sides from Grandpa Dave, and a comfy leather bucket seat Dad found.
