Busy Saturday Morning

The weather here today is absolutely gorgeous! We decided to get out early to do some hiking or something. Sully was in the WORST mood, however, which limited our willingness to drive a long time. After ruling out a few familiar hikes, and one that is an hour away, we headed down to the new footbridge. This weekend at the riverfront is World Beat. This is just what it sounds like: lots of multicultural music, booths, and food. There is also the great playground at the riverfront so we decided to make that our destination.

Mike and the boys were checking out the new sprinkler pad at the riverfront park. Soon we'll be able to walk across the footbridge and let the boys run in this big fountain. Fun stuff! As they reached the far side of the water pad, a parade started to walk by...so they came running over to check it out.
The dragon was, of course, the best part of the parade as far as the Moore Boys were concerned.

Mmmmmm....some sort of snow cone.

Their plush ride.

This wagon was one of the best things we bought for the boys. Mike lugs it around for several miles each week. It is by far the best thing to take on the footbridge because you can load it up with supplies and the boys still have room to jump in & out.

Just cutie Sullivan, slapping his hand on the rails as we walk back to the car.

We headed to a different fountain to cool off. This one is in West Salem, so is just a couple of miles from our place.

Here is Keats, daring the water to spray him. ;o)

Okay. This shot kills me. I looked over and noticed Sullivan hiking his britches up as far as they would go...then he plopped his hands on his hips and just watched Keats playing in the fountain. What a goober. A cute cute cute goober...but a goober none-the-less.

Sully reenacted the dragon he saw in the parade. Keaton asked "Sully, are you a monster?" to which Sully yelled, "No!! I'm a DRAGON!!"

Think he'll voluntarily do this in ten years? Well, I can dream, can't I?

We moved into the backyard when we came home. It was still a little early to put Sully in bed and Sully was still super grumpy. Outside yelling is better than inside yelling!

Just a cute close-up.

Here are the boys checking out our garden. We had some of our homegrown broccoli last night. I hope we get LOTS more because Keaton couldn't get enough of it.

Sully is digging through the broccoli plants and Keats is very possessive of them...so he's hollering at Sullivan not to touch them.

Hmmmm....future peeping tom? ;o)
