- the pointe, lake calhoun, & the park -

Last Saturday we went to an annual neighborhood garage sale near our house. The area is called The Pointe and has 40+ homes that participate in this big sale, which is always the weekend after Mother's Day. We've been before, and it's pretty fun to walk around and take it all in. There are even homes that sell snacks along the way, including BBQ hot dogs and burgers, mini donuts, etc. The day was unusually chilly for mid-May, with high winds and temps in the 40s. So we bundled up to walk around outside, including Mckenna. We found some nice toys and good deals for the summer - a swim/sun hat, a couple of swim diapers, and some cute blue sunglasses. Mckenna didn't seem to love them at first, but didn't really try to take them off either. Such a cool dude! :)



Back home, and time to eat - more carrots!


Look at those two little bottom teeth - so cute!


The next day was much nicer, sunny and warm. We drove to the Lake Calhoun area, had lunch outside, and then walked around the lake. Here is Nemo and Mckenna ready to leave the house for the lake. We thought it was cute that Nemo hopped in the car seat and Mckenna was hanging on to her leash!


And it was even warmer on Monday! We usually try to get outside and walk every day that it's nice, so we decided that we would take Mckenna to the park by our house. She has been once with our neighbors, Tim, Nicole, and their 9-month old son Carter, but we've never taken her before. She loved the swing! Matt and I also climbed around a bit with her on the playground. We had a fun first park visit as a family!






















And Nemo waited patiently for us while we played. She wasn't complaining though - she got a lot of attention and love from other kids at the park. :)
