Desmond Recycles

…And then tries to take the recycling bin back to the garage. He can pick it up, but only waddles so far before relenting.

After a very early morning, many garage sales, and one park later, it was time for a pizza break. With crayons, of course.

Mothers Day 2016

To give mom some extra rest time, Des and dad set out for a morning adventure. After a stop at Harold’s Koffee House for some brunch to-go, it was further north to Dodge Park. Not even a first bite of donut could tear Des away from the berry and granola pancake.

Lots of pointing, from airplanes and boats to ducks and water.
