Choo Choo!!

Tuesday, Kyle and I took a trip downtown, riding the rails to Union Station, where Kyle climbed every single stair by himself! That staircase has been used in many movies, and is especially famous for a scene in Kevin Kostner's "The Untouchables". Shortly after our arrival, we met Grandpa near another famous scene - he was reading a book in the park across from the Willis Tower, where John Travolta peacefully passed away in the movie "Michael". After meeting some of Grandpa's coworkers, Kyle and I had lunch in the park and took in a few more sights before heading home.

Reagan Elizabeth

Last Sunday, Kyle finally got to meet his new cousin, Reagan. At 6 lbs, she's a tiny little thing. Very cute, and very easy to hold, especially compared to my little meatball ;)

Cousins, new and old ;)

FORT!

Oh My!

Last Saturday we went to my cousin Aubrey's pinning party. We're happy to hear she's finished with nursing school and in the process of buying her first home in Springfield, IL with her fiance, Trevor. At the party, two 16-month-old twin girls who Aubrey babysits for were a little more than intrigued by Kyle. One of the girls - Charlotte - even went ahead and let everyone know her true feelings by planting a wet one on my innocent little boy! His first kiss. Definitely too much for me to handle.

Pirate's Cove

This morning we checked out the Pirate's Cove Children's Amusement Park. Cute, cute, cute. I think the perfect age for this place is 3 - 6, so we'll definitely be back for future visits. Although Kyle was still too little do do many of the activities on his own, he did enjoy playing on the playground, sliding down the giant slide, and going on a train ride. Fun, fun, fun!

Double Pool Day!

Wednesday was Kyle's last swim class for the summer! He was so happy that his Daddy was off work this week and was able to join in on the fun (fall classes start up again mid September). After class, we stayed in our suits and headed over to the outdoor wading pool across the street. We got there pretty much right when the pool opened (perfect timing for once!) and were able to grab a few lawn chairs under the giant umbrella. Kyle enjoyed splashing around, going down the slide, and sharing his cool toys with a couple other kids. Great morning :)
