Music and Trains and Puffs... Oh My!

We had a fun filled weekend. It started on Thursday night when I went to Brush Studio in Gaslight with some girlfriends for a painting class. My friend's sister opened the studio and we had so much fun painting our Traverse City Cherry Blossoms. On Friday after work, I packed up the boys and picked up pizza. Then we met Phil and some other friends at Reeds Lake. The Verve Pipe was putting on a free concert for kids. We had a nice picnic and the kids had fun running around. In addition to the group we went with, we ran into a lot of other friends and their families. Although Will didn't listen to too much of the music, he and his friends had a great time playing in the water, throwing rocks in, and in general being crazy.

On Saturday, we went to the Farmer's Market in the morning. After lunch, we met up with Grandpa downtown to check out the model train show at DeVos Place. They had a lot of displays with running trains and elaborate set-ups. It was pretty impressive. Will had a lot of fun watching all the trains.

On Sunday, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a walk/bike ride into town. We made pit stops at the fountain and the football field for Will. Neither Will or Alex took great afternoon naps, so we took another walk/bike ride up to the lake to play. We also went out onto the boardwalk and saw 4 swans and a frog.

Alex has moved into his big boy high chair (although he slumps a little bit) and has been eating puffs. He also upgraded to his "ducky tub."
