Burke's 21st Week- Memorial Weekend

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

We started off our long weekend by going to the Gardner Balloon Festival on Friday night. At 7 pm they had the "mass ascension" which meant about 10 different balloons launched from a football field. It was a bit chilly for a May evening. We enjoyed a picnic and a child friendly evening out.

 After going to the Dr. 3 times, Dan was diagnosed with mono! His symptoms are really just a sore throat, but a very sore throat, but his energy level seems to be ok. We took it pretty easy this weekend and tried to fill him with chocolate shakes, fruity smoothies and pudding.


 We met my friend and coworker Rebecca and her 9 mo. old son, Lawson.
On Sunday we attended church for the first time since Burke's birth. It turns out our church, Church of the Resurrection, has a very nice soothing room so we were quite comfortable when Burke got fussy.

 After church we enjoyed a nice brunch at Granite City and headed to the Overland Park Arboretum which is at 179th and Quivira. Who knew we had such a beautiful area right here in KC. It was about 90 degrees so we slathered up Burke's legs with 60+ SPF, got the shade on his stroller and he took a nap.







At home we found a quick way to entertain Burke is to drag him around on a blanket on the floor. We have to make sure we don't accidentally dump our passenger when he turns into a rolly polly.
