To the tower and back! and Shane's birthday train ride

So when your mom is with you, you really feel like you can tackle anything right!!  Yup, lets load up the kids and head to my favorite park - Killesberg!!  Time to ride the train and what a beautiful day.  Here Shane is acting like a natural - however, if you were to be walking with him, its not the power walk I needed or expected =) 
Lets call this bikers and a bellie
Here's Oma Sue and the reason we can do all this!  (BTW - Chris stayed home from work, finally sick in my book)

They were having a festival of Dahalia's 10,000 of them - just beautiful!

We took some extra photos for Jeannine who is also an expert Dahalia grower

Oma Sue was LOVING the gardening
Than, onto the playground and Turtles
Serious 2 year old here.  (BTW, lots of pictures in this one since the other was too much writing....)

Nick was my trooper who wanted to scale to the top of this tower.  Love his sense of adventure


But must admit that he beat me.  Those legs go too fast!

We got to the top and he ran right to the edge in search of Oma Sue and Shane - who were slowly walking the run bike up the hill.  I about fell over, mostly from the height as i HATE heights, but a bit from exhaustion....  lets be truthful, I am over due!

At the base of the tower having an apple snack time

Now, lets find this train!  Perfect, we grab our tickets and hop on the bench

Shane, a smile for your birthday train ride?  Nope, cause he just annouced he was pooping, great.  What kind of poop you might ask (wait, I'm sure you didn't) but lets remember, Shane hasn't gotten the bug yet...  Yup, one of THOSE kind of poops.  Quick change and get on the train!
Look at these cuties
Shane, are we gonna make it?  He actually held my hand which of course i enjoyed every minute of!


This one is for dad - yup, there are crane's in the air everywhere here. 

our day actually ended by getting lost in the killesberg park - I know you all know how that happened, i was leading and parked somewhere i am not accustomed to parking....  excuses excuses....  So three diaper changes and some tired feet later we found the mini van and headed home for soccer.  The baby didn't seem to mind, matter of fact, i think he enjoyed the ride.  Nick was thrilled to head off to soccer and I enjoyed a power walking session around the field with Eleanor.  Still nothing more to report outside of the fact that Chris is feeling better!!  My labor coach is back!

Tomorrow is Tuesday, we will keep you posted, or entertained to say the least.
