Dixie Quicks (and dinosaurs) for dinner to kick off mom’s birthday weekend
With a little extra energy to burn before bedtime, it’s time for a quick visit to Bayliss Park
Giant squirrels!

Des’ new hopping horse, cause why not?
Evening entertainment: bath toy stacking
The Popsicles of Summer
July 3rd, 2016
With the rain subsiding and cool temperatures remaining, it was a good morning for a family hike. Hiking with a toddler is a non-linear cycle: sprint, wander, backtrack, plead to resume forward motion, saying good-bye to all living and non-living creatures. Repeat.
Helping open the envelope to see if he’ll have a new baby brother or sister…
Not sure if it was the recent rains and temperatures, but just an unusual amount of snails alongside the trail and crawling atop the grass. Des had quite the keen eye for new snails
Jump in the puddles? Sure, why not.
With all the sprinting, zig-zagging and backtracking, it’s no wonder why he was ready for a piggyback ride

Stack all the things
A warm day for Taste of Omaha, but shade was found
Memorial Day 2016
It was a good morning for a hike at Fontenelle Forest and Des was all about running through the trees
“Come on son, let’s put those couch climbing skills to use”
Making it all the way down to the river overlook still awake (unlike last time)
A new found fascination with turtles
After nap time, it was time to cool off poolside. This is about as far in as he ventured though (dad needs to preheat it out in the sun for a bit next time)
“Sharing” an apple with mom
Running over to greet grandma
