Enjoying the nice Sunday that it is, we took a bike ride to our local park. Brooke had a fun time playing on the swings and playground like she always does. After playing for a while, Brooke decided it was time to show off her walking skills that she has been working on – – she’s getting quite good.

As we mentioned recently, Brooke likes to feed herself now-a-days. It makes for some good dinnertime entertainment. This is Brooke vs a yogurt, we’ll let you decide who won.
It is Pow Wow season on the East Coast and this Saturday there was a festival at Chesapeake City Park. This is Brooke’s 3rd Pow Wow and she had lots of fun eating fry bread, watching the hoop dance, dancing to the music, walking around the park, earning her feather (Chief Cutie Pie), and surveying the goods.
Today was a fun day. This morning we, of course, went to stroller strides but it was special today because it was our favorite instructor’s birthday. To celebrate I (and all the ladies) wore shirts that we made saying “We Love Devon!”. Brooke wore her workout gear to show Devon that her dedication to fitness and healthy living is passing on to the next generation!
Then we were invited to ‘Fun Friday’, which is when the ladies in our neighborhood and their children do a fun activity on Friday. Today it was the beach and we had a great time playing with all our neighbors at the ocean. Brooke’s favorite thing is the waves and was the ONLY child there (11 kids -ages ranged from 6 weeks to 5 years) who was running INTO the waves (not just splashing at the waters edge). Eventually I had to pick her up from getting clobbered and I held her on my hip and went a bit deeper until the waves were hitting on our midsections. Every time a wave would hit us she would laugh and laugh! She is a beach baby for sure. She also loved getting head to toe covered in sand and playing with her story time friend Giuliana.
What a wonderful day!
On our day of remembering those who died while serving in our Armed Forces, we enjoyed the freedoms that they gave their lives for.
