We had a weekend that left us spinning (pun intended). Our Friday night swimming ritual with Barbara and Hathaway was rained out so the four of us attended an opening of a new artspace in Columbus, called Floorspace. A photo of the festivities can be seen on my Facebook page. Barbara gave me tips on preparing salmon and we enjoyed a delicious meal with salmon, pasta and fresh zucchini before heading to the opening. At the artspace, we participated in some impromptu dancing and revelry.
Saturday morning brought a playdate with eaw’s friend Nate from daycare. We met at Schiller Park in German Village for some energy expenditure, followed by a pb&j jazz concert at a local topiary garden. Unfortunately, our schedule was off so eaw and I only made it for a story time at the library and missed the jazz concert. We had to get back home to nap and prepare for our evening outing at Our Lady of Peace Festival, a fundraiser by our neighbor’s parish that includes rides, bbq, music and fun.
We drove over with Colby and his mom and had a great evening. eaw loved the fish ride, the carousel, the ferris wheel (yes, my 2.5 year old son went alone with 2 4 year olds), the jumpy castles/slides and the yummy food. Yes there were some struggles over waiting in line and yes the skies did open up halfway through the evening and downpour, but overall – it was a fantastic evening. I love watching eaw’s eyes light up with new experiences and fun activities. I can’t wait for the amusement parks. I love being his mother.
After a late night, we woke up early and prepared for a day trip to Deer Creek State Park south of Columbus, again with Colby and his mom. It was a beautiful day – not too hot, overcast with some sun, and a lovely breeze. We enjoyed a nice hike with both woodland and lake views, followed by a picnic and playtime on a playground. Living up to its name, we also saw several deer – eaw and Colby were especially impressed with seeing Bambi. The full weekend caught up with the young men as evidenced by the parting shot:
