Despite all three of us having a cold/cough, and Des with an ear infection and pink eye (though on the mend), we just needed to get out of the house for a while. We decided to walk around Heartland of America Park for Taste of Omaha.

Few things Des enjoys more than crinkly packages to play with. Look closely and you can see his two bottom teeth coming in, along with one upper tooth.

And mere moments after Des army crawled through duck poop…

Though he’ll routinely try just about any food we offer him (except scrambled eggs, those were jettisoned with notable velocity), it’s always with a grimace of uncertainty. On the way back to the car, we stopped for a pint and snack and discovered he absolutely loves pita and hummus. No funny faces, wanted more. Go figure- he is our kid.
