Oh bananas

Liam discovered bananas this weekend. And this is how he chews them (the loud background noise would be his big brother)...

Art on the Commons


We decided to take the boys to Art on the Commons via the wagon. Apparently it makes us as much of a spectacle as the double stroller. It's hysterical. I don't think we're the only people who accidentally had two kids 15 months apart. Maybe it's because they look more like they're 9 months apart...

Round and round

Quinn liked the carousel so much he rode it twice in a row. He probably would have rode it forever if we would have let him...

The Zoo!





Grammy and Grandpa came for a visit this weekend, and we all went to the zoo on Saturday morning. It was hot and the kids were worn out by 1, but we still had lots of fun.

Looking at the cats...

Posing on the gorilla statue before checking out all the different monkeys.

Quinn wasn't so sure about his first carousel ride, but he ended up loving it (check out the video in next post).

And getting ready for our train ride near the end of our zoo adventure. I think the train put Quinn over the edge because he fell asleep shortly after.

Backyard fun





So way back at the end of June we were supposed to have a little party in celebration for Quinn's second birthday. Unfortunately, I got really sick and then July was pretty busy and flew by.

So last weekend we finally had our friends over for some backyard splashes (sans the birthday). The boys (and Sadie...yep, only one girl) seemed to have lots of fun!

Butterfly festival


We met up with our old pals Corina, Nate and their parents for some fun at the butterfly festival (and people watching). We checked out some butterflies, ate some lunch and saw some really interesting people who went all out to celebrate the butterflies.
