After a long day, time for bedtime stories

With aunt Kellie, uncle Mike, and cousin Calvin visiting, it was a great Saturday morning for a trip to the Children’s Museum. Des was mostly overwhelmed during the last visit, but now with his new walking skills, it was an entirely new game.


Still a bit short for most of the pneumatic ball fun, but he was all too happy chase them all down anyway.

It was still time for an intermission mid-morning though.

Des is happy on the inside too, he’s got his pouch.






Des returning to sorting fruit with Calvin, he could have spent hours here.
