Saturday Rudy had another class at the Arden, "Mixed-Up Fairy tales". The weather at home was rainy and miserable and we toyed with the idea of one of us staying home with N, so we didn't have to amuse a 2 year old in a rainy Philly, but Rudy wanted us both to be there, so we all headed out. Luckily when we got to Philly, it was sunny and dry. Rudy went in to his class and we walked around with N. We found a great place to hang out at Washington Square Park. N was happy to be out of his stroller.
We headed back to get Rudy and admired the flowers in the gardens at Christ Church, which a few weeks ago had been non-existent.
Once again we got to watch Rudy and the other kids show off the fun they had.
Then we got some ice cream and sat near the church again. After finishing his ice cream, Rudy climbed around on the fence at the church and watched people arrive for a wedding.
We have discovered that N is not a fan of ice cream (horrors!), so he enjoyed a cookie.
N got in to the swing of it after a while. At first he fell and had a hard time getting his footing and wasn't very happy with us. He also wanted to be carried, which wasn't happening, but he eventually enjoyed it.

The boys.
After the first picture I got "Cheeeeeeese" from this one, so I had to take another.
Little one trying to keep up with big one.
If you look closely you can see an oriole in the tree
Crazy father and son.
Copying the big boy.
Trying to keep the little one out of the mud puddles.
Two families of geese.

A fallen tree to climb.
All in all, great weather for a great weekend.

Sunday, Mother's Day, we headed out early to breakfast at Shea's. I wanted to take a nice hike somewhere, but really didn't feel like driving too far. While researching this week, I found that there was a local "Wildlife Management Area" in a neighboring town. It is much more woodsy and less cut out trails, but we had a lot of fun exploring it.
(Remember, this is our kid who 'doesn't like nature'.)
