It was such a warm autumn day, we had to start the day outside. What better destination than the old market? Chance also had it that dad’s friend Rachel was in town for her own baby shower.

Des and mom had their own sushi date while dad and Rachel caught up. “What do you mean these aren’t drumsticks?” (nice form though, son)

Des exploring the new kids boutique shop. Mom and dad will definitely be back, lots a great toy ideas for young minds.

Des is finally warming up to the slides in Gene Leahy Mall.

With daylight savings time, everyone got to enjoy a gorgeous midwestern sunset on the back deck.

Ok, dad may have added a submarine from the shop today to accompany the tugboat ma got Des.

“All right, this isn’t so bad. I like the flower smell! Which is okay, because I’ve got my boat.”
