Desmond and Eleanor go to the Juneteenth parade with mom

A clear demonstration of their uniquely different risk profiles: Eleanor is quick try out the trampoline and spent the rest of the nightly determinedly getting back up after a bounce throws her. After a healthy dose of FOMO, Desmond reluctantly overcomes his initial and resolved decision stay grounded.
Eleanor finds comfort in the spacious bean bag chair, a contested spot between the two Eleanors at daycare
Eleanor got creative and expressive today at daycare. “Washable” means “Will wash off eventually (but not as soon as you’d think)”

Mixing up some waffles with mom
Eleanor instinctively planking on ever-patient Max
Dad thought was cute for a few moments before he realized he’d made a huge mistake
Almost as if he could sense parental mistake in precedence, Desmond arrived freaky fast to participate in the shenanigans
Mom thinks this is a dog, Eleanor thinks it’s a cat. “Maww!”
Nice in clean in their pajamas, ready for bedtime stories

Visiting the children’s fair during the Omaha Summer Arts Festival despite the sweltering morning heat
She may be a bit ways off from playing harmonica yet
Decorating a cookie and immediately eating it in the shade, summer goodness
Des got inked [get it?] with a Pirate Octopus
Eleanor swinging for the fences with the bubble wand while brother is making some spin art
What is it about summer arts festivals and the cool relief of snow cones?
Snow cones are a messy sport
A very generous mounted officer walked his horse over so Eleanor could pet “horsey!” Overjoyed was an understatement.
Now for some food to go along with all of ice and sugar water
Calvin and Des reading the Star Wars book
The boys clearly impressing Aunt Kellie with “the force” factoids
A (vegetarian) Ethiopian feast for grandma’s birthday
Practicing her kiss blowing
Group engineering
Des wanted a photo of his (hand-me-down) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajamas to show Cal
