Social Butterfly

We've been so busy over the past couple of weeks that I've barely had time to keep the blog updated. Here are a few photos of some recent events.

The Owls' Nest Park Opening Day Party (this is just two-three blocks from our house and a big factor in choosing this neighborhood):
Best balloon shark ever made by a pirate on stilts:
Spinning in the sunshine to the UC Community Orchestra:

These photos are from the "Big Bug Party" at the Highfield Discovery Children's Garden. (Thanks SOO much to the Schmitt-Harrison family for introducing us to this magical place!)  Josie loves, loves, loves bugs so we couldn't miss this. Before the party started, we had a pizza picnic at Glenwood Gardens. While we were eating, a little girl ran over and sat in "meditation pose" jokingly chanting "ohmmmm...." As soon as Josie finished eating, she ran over to do the same thing. That's my girl!
When asked what she wanted to have painted on her face, she said "a blue beetle." I really don't know where this love for bugs came originated, but I'm glad she's not grossed out by them.
Little girl on a big stump:
A really fun art project we can't wait to try at home (spray bottles filled with watered down paint - so easy and turns out great).  Josie & Lou give it a "thumbs-up"!  (Oh and notice Lou's bee visor.)
Josie,Frog & Toad are friends:
If you're in the Cincy/Dayton area, and you haven't made it to Glenwood Gardens, put it on your to do list! It's in the Wyoming area & easily accessible from 75.
