Centennial Park

Quinn and I just got back from a week in Maryland visiting with family and friends. Don took the train down for the weekend, had a meeting in VA on Monday, and took the train home on Monday night. Ross was in town from Utah and it was great to catch up with him. I think it had been almost 2 years since we saw him last. And of course we got lots of time with Pam and family 🙂

We had a handful of great spring days and took advantage of the weather with a day at Centennial Park with Mom and Pam. We enjoyed a picnic lunch, some play time on the playground, and then a walk/scoot around the lake.

The play structure was amazing. Lots of interesting features, steps, ramps, rings, slides, etc. Quinn had a grand time climbing all over it saying \”Chase me Mama!\”. I was worn out!

Quinn\’s making his way across \’mushroom\’ steps.

That\’s our boy! I think he has some chocolate chip cookie residue on his chin 🙂

Look at the monster grip Quinn has on Aunt Pam.

Time for a walk around the lake. Quinn is getting really good and fast with his scooter. It\’s now his preferred mode of transportation (poor Thomas!). I think we\’re going to go through some shoes this summer because Quinn likes to drag his foot as the brake.

Quick break — quick picture. Yes, I\’m the mamarazzi!

Quinn loves to see things splash in the water. Grams collected some rocks for Quinn to throw.

Our handsome boy!

What a great day with Grams and Aunt Pam!

Scooter Boy

Quinn got a scooter for his birthday — you may remember this post of him riding it around the house. Well for the first time we got the scooter outside. The weather has been *beautiful* in NJ so Quinn and I headed to one of our favorite parks, Trailside. I also recently got a helmet for Quinn and the rule is that he can\’t get on his scooter or tricycle without a helmet. Not so happy about that at first but today he played for a long time before he realized that it was still on. Safety first! 🙂

Here\’s our little guy hitting the road.

Which way do we go?

I don\’t know! (Actually, this was a game of peek-a-boo behind the bench.)

For some reason, Quinn really looks like a Cantelo in the picture (at least to me). Maybe a little like Ross or Ty?

I\’ve been trying to upload a video but can\’t seem to complete the mission 😦
