A rainy day trip to the zoo with grandma and Calvin

Grab all the fishies!

Mesmerized

Lunch with monkeys, everyone’s favorite

Started to dry up by mid-day, but it was getting close to nap time

It was the perfect windy afternoon to (belatedly) try out mom’s birthday kite

Des exploring the rose garden at Memorial Park. This may or may not have been while dad was driving home to get his grabber tool to retrieve some kite parts accidentally dropped into the storm drain.

Mom quickly learned that getting a kite off the ground with a baby carrier on was a non-starter. Dad gets it flying after a few sprints.

It’s mom’s kite after all, so gives it a go with Desmond giving chase

Desmond exercising his “outdoor voice”

Eleanor also gets into the kite-chasing fun

Quite the speedy crawler
