Last Day at the Splash Park

The splash park at the zoo closes next Monday. Today looked like the last sunny/hot day to go. Augie and I enjoyed splash-side sandwiches and juice - and then he ventured out into the water alone. I think he enjoyed eating lunch and watching the other kids most - and also the almost attack of the canadian geese on our way out. We ended our trip with an easy carousel ride. The zoo is so much more fun and peaceful when the older kids are back at school. :-)


Happy Grandparents Day..yesterday!

There was a 2 hour jazz concert in the park yesterday as a celebration for Grandparents Day. We enjoyed juice, crackers, and entertainment.







And finished the evening with a nice bubble bath.

Repurposed

Lately I have been wanting to re-purpose old clothing we have instead of throwing it away or donating it. I had this Springfield 5K Turkey Trot shirt from 2002 that hasn't fit me for a long time (at least not before stretching it over my knees and doing a couple of squats first :-) See re-purpose pictures below.

The long sleeves became pants for the prince.


And the rest a re-useable shopping bag for mama!


Here is Augie - Starbucks on Labor Day. We rode our bikes to coffee and breakfast and then rode around an old part of town and looked at the historic homes. Fun!! Augie fell asleep in the bike carrier on the way home. His little helmeted head kept falling over. :-)
