The White House

On Saturday we drove down to Camden NJ to visit the Camden Children\’s Garden. It was about a 70 mile drive but well worth it. The garden was having a special train day so right up Quinn\’s alley. (Don and I use the code name T3 for Thomas the Train.)

As soon as we walked in the gates there were a couple of train tables and Thomas push trains. This Thomas played the T3 theme song, which we all know by heart 😉

Next we went in to the butterfly garden and my lens fogged up right away (notice the fuzzy picture).

There were benches all around the garden that were painted with really bright colors. Here\’s Quinn giving me the look.

Little man, big chair.

Running through the tunnel.

Oh the train!! We were given a train whistle when we got on. Quinn had great fun on the train.

Should we call him Twinkle Toes? Quinn loves to walk on balance beams and practices every Sunday with Don at My Gym.

There were stations set up throughout the gardens for the kids to do activities. Here we are making a peanut butter and bird seed coated pine cone.

Never enough train rides.

Don and Quinn having some fun!

We had such a great time at the Children\’s Garden and will be visiting again when everything is in bloom.

OK, not really running but sitting at the kitchen counter with scissors. Quinn loves to cut stuff and will ask for the scissors whenever he sees them. He says \”cut paper, cut paper, cut paper\”. Needless to say, I\’m getting some safety scissors for him.

Here\’s our boy sitting at the counter cutting up some paper.

Quinn had his first non-mama haircut today. He didn\’t love it but he didn\’t hate it either. The haircut \”salon\” has a train table, fun chairs for the kids to sit in during the haircut, and a choice of videos to watch during the haircut. Quinn watched a little Thomas (shocking!) during his haircut. There was also a little boy getting a buzz and was SCREAMING his head off.

Here we are at home getting ready to head out. Love the orange pants (thanks grams 🙂

It looks like Quinn has mastered the fake camera smile!

Here\’s Quinn getting ready for his haircut. Not looking so happy.

Here\’s the \”after\” shot. Sorry for the blur but I couldn\’t seem to snap a good one. It\’s still a little shaggy but he doesn\’t have as much volume on the sides of his head and it\’s trimmed all around.

Quinn got this certificate for his first haircut. He also had his first lollipop, which he enjoyed very much!
