Parks and Recreation: June 2013

I love this bridge! Union Park 

Peek a boo! Union Park

Mom thought mall playgrounds were dumb ... until I came along! 

Swimming in my patio pool

New umbrella to keep me from premature aging. 

Father's Day breakfast at Mullets

Chuck shakes off after a swim! This cracks me up. Gray's Lake

"Wheee!" -- what I say whenever I see a slide. Gray's Lake

I climbed on this frog all by myself. Stewart Square Park

Stewart Square Park

Chuck and me.

We ran into my buddy Patrick, and he got me this yummy cake pop.
(In case you didn't know, Pat is the guy who wrote and performed the song on my blog
and coined the name of the blog. He's super cool!) 

Checked out these books at the library. Well, the chapter book is Mom's. 

Reading is pretty much the best. 

Cooling off at the library fountain ...

... and now checking out the Imagination Playground. 

I am really getting to be a connoisseur of slides. Birdland Park

My first bike ride to Cumming, Iowa. 

We stopped along the trail at Orlondo's

I went to the Des Moines Art Festival! I got a smoothie!

Dad, Mom, and I checked out a band in the kids' area. 

We went to an outdoor concert where some of my friends were playing. 

I love shows! I hate to wear my sound-muffling headphones. Wouldn't you?

Here's the band. I can say I was there for their very first show!

Water fun on a hot day! Columbus Park

Bath time! Blackmail for later in life. 

Taking up residency in this lil house. Walker Johnson Park

Hmm, this looks interesting. 

A slide! Whee!

I'm kind of a daredevil. Walker Johnson Park

Dad, Grant, Peyton, and I watch Patrick/Gloom Balloon perform at the farmers market. 

Me, Dad, and Chuck at the Levee.

Wearing Ang's glasses!

Lorin joined us on a walk to Columbus Park one morning!

I climbed on this rock. Asian Garden

Onward!

All of us squeeze into a photo. Chamberlain Park

Wheeeeeeee! (This slide is fast.)
