That's not how I remember it. Besides, if we wanted to see Japanese people we could have gone to the zoo.
The weather was nice and it was a long holiday weekend so we decided to take Grace to the zoo along with 10 gazillion other people today. We only managed to get two pictures of her...
... One of them was in a toilet.
The other was of her riding the "pengy" on the merry-go-round.
Here's a giraffe.

We had a big gardening project this weekend and Grace helped out.
That's Tommy. He tells people he was named after a gun, but I know he was really named after a famous 19th century ballet dancer.
Mommy's ballet recital was last weekend so she was very busy.
Grace and daddy went to the park to play.
She really liked this horse.
Giving mommy her flowers after the recital.
Grace got a special treat from the dancers.

Some Portrait Pictures
Grace had her pictures taken for her 2nd birthday this week and we bought the CD so we can upload them if we like. I think this first one is from a session before Christmas but the rest are from this week.

Happy Birthday Grace
Today was Grace's 2nd birthday and we had lots of stuff planned for her busy day.
Mom made a special breakfast and Grace got to drink her first ever glass of orange juice in a big girl cup.
Toasting her birthday.
In the morning, we took grace downtown to Navy Pier to go to some Spring festival they were having. The first order of business was to ride the train. And ride it again. and again. and then maybe again.
Next we stood around in the moon walk.
Then we found this moon walk/train thing where she climbs in and then works her way through a series of inflatable obstacles. She got stuck on a tough hill in the middle but an older girl was nice enough to stop and help her. We took off her socks for the second trip through and she was good to go. She went on it again, and again, and again, and again.
Climbing in.
Did I mention she rode the train a few times?
Then we went home and took a nap. When she woke up, we got dressed up and went to Sears to have her birthday picture taken. Then we went to Olive Garden for dinner. Grace had her standby, Macaroni and Cheese. When we got home, Grace blew out the candles on her cake but we didn't have time to eat it.
She still had to open her presents
Desperate for some attention
Opening a present from Grandma. I think it's her Blue's Clues notebooks.
Then we thought she had a poopy diaper so we changed it (false alarm) and put on her jammies. The rest of her presents were down in the basement.
Grace's big gift this year was a train table and a Brio train set to play with.
Wearing her conductor hat and trying to get Mom to put the Blue's Clues game on the computer.
