For 6 weeks this summer Hank was enrolled in summer camp programs of one kind or another that conveniently took care of his morning activities. All I had to worry about was lunch, nap and dinner.
Those ended in mid-July and we have spent the past two weeks on our own with LOTS of free time. This is a terrifying prospect for the pregnant mother of a 2.5 year old boy. Our house and neighborhood are not that child friendly (no big basement for a playroom, not a blade of grass in the backyard, lots of traffic in the street). And oh, it's like 100 degrees here everyday and I am about to give birth.
Alas, activities are key because they lead to bigger appetites and longer naps.
So Hank and I have been exploring our local parks, having play dates with friends, checking out museums and the zoo, hanging at the pool and going to the dentist (does that count as a fun activity you ask? It does when all you have to do is open your mouth once and you walk out with 3 stickers and a new race car!!)
Highlights below...

| Fun on a swing! |

| More interested in the sculptures of animals than the live ones at the zoo. |
 |
| Nice, nice panda. |
 |
| Other non-live animals at the Museum of Natural History... |

| Ah, fish. Finally something that moves that also moves Hank. |

Summer in the city means hanging at the splash park.

| Our first visit to the dentist was a surprising success - next challenge: a haircut! |
