Shopping & Sprinklers

One of our favorite spots in Columbus is Easton Town Center.  It's built like a traditional American Main Street (however, I don't how traditional the Cheesecake Factory and Crate & Barrel are), with metered storefront parking, public fountains, etc.  It's very, very cute and generally very CROWDED!  We got lucky this particular day, we were the first ones at the fountain area.  Max had so much fun splashing in the water, especially after an "older girl" (6) showed up and started playing with him.  Libby is not all that fond of sprinkler type things, so she spent her morning sulking and then collecting sticks which she insisted on bringing to lunch and then home in the car.

Found another stick

Not sure why she needed the towel, she never got wet...

We had a visitor!

We recently had some company.  Mrs. Stephanie and Bryce came to visit for the weekend.  It was so wonderful for all of us to see two very familiar faces.  The kids loved having a friend in town to play with and I loved having my girlfriend to chat and laugh with!  We were all very sad to say goodbye :-(

They had touch-a-truck at the science center downtown

It's not everyday you get to sit in the shovel of a bulldozer

Lib didn't care much for the trucks, but she liked the blocks

Even though Max & Bryce are the same age and friends since a young age, these girls are super close!

Dinner smiles :-)

Nothing sweeter....

than my two favorite boys hugging & laughing

and a sleeping Libby (when she's awake - completely different animal!)
