A day at the Park...



We went to Hermann Park last weekend... The kids had a lot of fun exploring and playing. Norah loved the swings.


Grace loves The Little Mermaid. Here she is pretending to be Ariel and is singing Ariel's trademark song, "AHHH AHHH AHHHHH AHHHH AHH!"


At the Japanese Gardens...


Grace taking a moment to smell the flowers. She also loves flowers. She notices them everywhere, and notices if there aren't any. If she sees a flower bed with plants and no flowers, she'll comment on it, "Daddy, there's no flowers. They need flowers..."


Some freaky wild animal. We aren't sure what it was. it looked like a beaver, but didn't have the wide tail. So I decided it was a giant rat and then ran the other direction.










Taking a few moments to reflect at, you guessed it, the reflection pond...
