Birthday Party Picnic

We had a nice little picnic for Sean's 2nd birthday with grilled hot dogs and watermelon, etc. Here's Sean getting ready to check out the water playground. He finally gets up the courage to go in and the water's cold!

A Pedal Boat Ride

We also rented a pedal boat while at Hermann Park. It was pretty hot and thankfully Matthew did all the pedaling.

Come On, Ride the Train! Ride It!

We finally went to Hermann Park and rode the train. Here we are waiting for the train to start so Sean doesn't look very impressed.

Sean also got to enjoy running around Hermann Park and seeing the train. Will have to take him back for a ride sometime...

Japan Fest

Even though Daddy had to work on a big project this weekend, today we went to the Japan Fest at Hermann Park for a couple of hours. The weather was nice but it's already getting hot. We ate some food and checked out the booths (I didn't know that there were Japanese astronauts). I got some cotton candy which I haven't had in over a decade, but Sean wasn't interested in eating any. He does like his Pocky though (strawberry, of course).

Playground Connoisseurs

This evening we went to a new (to us) playground. It was a little big for Sean's age, but he had fun and didn't want to leave.

To the Park!

The weather has been really nice, so we decided to go to the park. The toddler-sized playground in West U. is being renovated, so we went to another park nearby. Sean loves to run around outside, plus we're happy when it makes him tired and helps him sleep all night.

A Walk to the Park

After Hurricane Ike passed through, we had nice, cool weather. So we decided to enjoy the park. Off to feed the ducks!

The ducks enjoyed our Gorilla Munch, but now it's Sean's turn to snack. Or as Sean says, "Nak!"

We went up the stairs and down the slide at least a dozen times...

Summertime at the Park

Just enjoying a sunday afternoon at the Discovery Green. Sean didn't splash around as much as before, but I think it was because of the shots he had on thursday. He mostly wanted to be carried, so next time I'll have to bring a change of clothing for myself as well.

Down the Slide

Toddler-Sized Splash

This evening we checked out the new downtown park called Discovery Green. It's a nice park with different activities for kids of all ages, and there was a Jazz Festival today too. Sean enjoyed chasing the water in the Gateway Fountain. He got pretty soaked, so for all you mommas out there, make sure and bring an extra set of clothes!

Waiting for Good Dinner

Grandma and Grandpa visited for Matthew's birthday and took us out for a delicious dinner. Sean's first course consisted of strawberries, blueberries, calamari, and shrimp. Although it was tasty, Sean didn't like the cocktail sauce and made a face with that cringe-wiggle he does. As always, while we were waiting for the main course to arrive, Sean and I checked out the scenery outside.

A Walk in the Park

After cake and lunch with Daddy, Sean and I checked out the water fountains and park near the office. It was nice but really hot.
