Memorial Day Weekend

We were so excited to have a long weekend as a family. Corey has just started his summer law clinic courses, so this weekend was a special treat! Until the beginning of August he will be busybusybusy. Asher and I plan on stealing him for our own designs every chance we get.

These pics show that our little ground-dweller is finally deciding to try out some two-legged living! Yipee! I know I will be glad to have him up and off the floor. If he weren't such a super speedy crawler he might have some incentive.



Here is some of our park fun. Asher LOVES that sand (I chose not to include the ones of Asher with sand all over his mouth...sadly, he loves to sample it too).



We decided to go to the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. They just opened up the Butterfly Pavilion, and have upgraded the whole place! We hadn't been in a few years and we were really surprised at how cool it is now for kids and adults. There were still a bunch of chrysalis's' and butterflies emerging, which I have never seen before and thought it was pretty amazing.



Asher couldn't get enough of the miniature train area. He was really excited every time a train passed him by. This picture cracked me up...a mouth full of cookie, in awe of the train that had just chugged by us!



On Memorial Day evening we hung out at Aaron and Meagan's place for a BBQ. It was lots of fun, and the food was great! Asher found that piling rocks on their patio, and transferring ice out of the cooler were loads of fun. Apparantly he know what to do with a soda can, and he had fun chasing the cat around (much to Corey's dismay...he is pretty allergic, so absolutely NO cats in our future). It was a very enjoyable evening and weekend...sad to see it end!
