This weekend I got to check out the newly renovated Washington Park in the company of Wonder Boy and two of my nephews. I was so impressed with the park’s update and look forward to many more visits there. My nephews were a little more distracted by the water.

I had my own chance to cool off a few hours later when I soaked up some air conditioning and hung out with my niece, Evie. She’s newly crawling and watching her on the move is just so cute.

I finished the family- and fun-filled day at a five-person family birthday gathering where one little girl hopped up on lots of watermelon hammed it up for the camera all night long.
