Memorial weekend 2011

We visted a couple parks on Memorial Day Sunday, including the Ashland park. Kieran was very excited to discover a toad- his first toad experience ;)

I spy, with my little eye...

A great big toad!

This is the same rocking-rocket that was at the park when I was a kid- with a new paint job

Dad and Kieran in the sandbox

Hanging out in the log fort

My failed attempt to take a picture of the two of us in the log fort!

We also visited the Hartsburg Katy Trail to try out Kieran's Radio Flyer.

As you can see, Kieran didn't stay on his tricycle- he prefers to push it or have one of us push it while he explores!

Walking down the trail, exploring...

This is Kieran Memorial Day Monday morning at breakfast- as you can see he decided he needed a yogurt facial ;)

So sweet- literally!

Trying to get his sticky hands on Grace- she was having none of it.

"Choo-choo!!"

I love him in these sleeping pants- so cute!

This is Kieran at the Memorial Day parade- he wasn't too impressed and so we didn't stay too long.

Koshka enjoying our newly fenced back yard

The dogs checking out Kieran's wading pool- sadly they were a lot more interested in it than he was... he wouldn't step foot in it!

Mommy and Kieran in Jeff City at the train station. We went to see the historical #844 train which stopped a couple days here in mid-MO.

Daddy and Kieran admiring the enormous steam engine.

Kieran was in awe of the this monstrous train- he could barley take his eyes off of it!

This picture gives you an idea of just how big this train is- HUGE!

One of Kieran's favorite parts of the visit- watching a DVD of the train running on the tracks! We bought Kieran a wooden train whistle, like the one his dad used to have and then we all went to Hot Millions Bistro to try out Jeff City's new Indian restaurant.

Here is Kieran in his highchair after an early dinner. You can see he is in his swimming attire, which never was put to its intended use ;) This is what happens when Kieran refuses to nap and mommy refuses to drive him around so he will sleep- he passes out!

Daddy transfered KP to the couch so he could grab a few evening z's- but not too many- as nite-nite time was just around the corner!
