A mild Sunday morning at the  zoo. When did he get so big?

First time on the Skyfari, you can tell Des is thrilled

Good times with family

After sleeping until 7:20am and an almost three-hour nap, he’s still got energy to burn even after bath time

Kissing mom and baby before bed. Today he decided to practice saying “sister” repeatedly

Enjoying the nice weekend weather near the pedestrian bridge, Des is still learning to navigate the various splash pads

And water up the nose…

He could have watched the boats pass for hours, running to the other side to watch each boat round the river bend and disappear

Des’ gift to mom was the first season of Fraggle Rock to watch together. He was mesmerized by just the few first minutes and danced to the theme song!

Railroad Days

Visited Lauritzen Gardens Saturday for part of the annual trains celebration throughout the city. If Des wasn’t already saying “Choo choo!” enough lately, this certainly amped that up.

Checking out the O scale display

Hiked further in to the year-round Model Railroad Garden

He was so in awe, he barely noticed the admission bracelet on his wrist- which presence may typically instigate a meltdown

Hiking back, shortly before surrendering to dad’s shoulders
