Just a few new pictures

Playing Whack-A-Mole

Riding Bob the Builder's bulldozer

Riding some weird ride at Chuck-E-Cheese.

Baby Ben came over for a visit and Grace got to hilm him for a little while.

Out to dinner with Grandma again.

And Bart isn't doing very well either. He needs boundaries and structure. There's something about flying a kite at night that's so unwholesome.

Despite the threat of rain, we took Grace to the Chicago Botanical Gardens for a kite festival.

Grace and mom on the tram ride to the festival.

Decorating her very own kite.

Getting help with her kite from a lady who wore an inappropriately low cut dress given that her job required her to bend over all day long.

Lots of kites.

A swan.

The only good picture I was able to get by the fountain before some d-bag put his little brat behind Grace so he could take a picture.

Summer Fun

Getting tickled on the big ball.

Making glasses out of some play cup holders.

Painting her foot.

Painting the driveway.

Riding the nay nay at Meijers.

After getting home from the spray park, Grace decided to go in the shower before Mommy was ready. She slipped, grabbed the hose from the shower head, and it fell down whacking her on the head. A quick trip to the emergency room and now she's got a nice little cut super glued shut on her forehead.

At the spray park.
