There are lots of semi trucks that come down this road. We have taught Nathan how to try and get them to honk. He had a blast! We had to give him some warnings not to get too upset when some of them didn't honk. If you know Nathan, you know that he doesn't handle disappointment very well. However, when one of them did honk, we would turn around and give us a BIG ol' smile and throw both hands up in the air.
The post office is located just across the street from the train tracks. Fortunately, trains come frequently enough that there's a good chance of getting to see one. Both Nathan and Caroline really enjoyed getting to see the train so close.
That's my girl! The crumbs on her face are from a popcorn egg...weird.
I don't often get into pictures. Since Matt had the camera (he took all these pictures), I took the opportunity to get into a couple. I'm glad to have a picture with all my kiddos!
This is a close up shot of Sara from the picture above. I haven't taken many pictures in the last week or so. I really need to get on the ball!
After our picnic, we headed over to McDonald's for dessert...a milkshake for Nathan and Caroline, apple pies for Daddy, and chocolate chip cookies and tea for Mommy!

great pictures! its nice to see mommy in some :) looks like you guys had fun.
What fun! I've always loved picnics.
Fun picnic! I love all of the fun things the kids got to do (not just play on a playground). Great location. And wonderful to see some pictures of the family, especially Sara. She looks so precious!
I have a crafty project for you -- a hooter hider. I don't think they are THAT difficult, but they have some cool design features. That name I gave them is one of their brand names; they also go by bebe au lait, but Lisa has made some for gifts. (It's a cool design for a nursing cover, in case neither name was enough to give you the clue!)
Actually, Elizabeth, I made myself one. I just never got around to taking a picture to post. Maybe I'll do that soon.
Oh yeah...do you know if Lisa does anything special on hers?
Great to see you with the kids in a picture! And Sara is looking different already. She is adorable. Don't make us wait so long for picture updates!!
p.s. My mom put some sort of flexible plastic strip into the portion of the HH that is at the top of your chest. It's a great "hands free" way that you can check on baby if need be. It also keeps the fabric away from their head and face and makes for a little more air flow for the two of you!!
I don't know what kind of strip it was . .the word "boning" comes to bind. . but it's kind of hard to explain. If you look online you'll see the idea, and perhaps others have made their own patterns online, I don't know. I loved having the ability to check on K but still have privacy from every one else. Also, the air flow factor was KEY.
Your kiddos are always so photogenic! I love the one of Caroline. And what a great location to get trains & big-rigs... what more could a little boy want.
