MMoT Annual Picnic

Today we went to a picnic celebration for the Meetup Moms of Tucson. It's a group that Peter and I have been involved in since he was about 6 months old. They host various play-dates, outings, and activities. We gathered at a park today for their big annual celebration. Over 100 people came. Can you find us in the photo?


Here we are! We are in the bottom right corner.


They had a bouncy house and even a little train running around the soccer field. Unfortunately Peter's still a little too young for those. By next year though it will be great!


Peter got thirsty and didn't want the water from his sippy cup. Daddy had a funny looking thing called a juice pouch. John gave Peter a taste and he loved it!


We brought Peter's walker and set him loose down the sidewalk. John spent a good 20 minutes chasing him back and forth. Peter kept wanting to go off roading into the rocks.


Peter had so much fun! We brought a hat for him but he only kept it on about 50% of the time. Thankfully I think he's got daddy's gift of not burning in the sun.


Hanging with dad. We brought a couple of toys and balls to play with on our blanket. Peter had fun throwing the ball across the sidewalk...inevitably it was whenever someone was passing by so they could kick the ball back to him. We even had a couple other babies Peter's age come over and play on our blanket a couple times. Peter had to learn to share his toys.


Mid-sidewalk collisions gave us a chance to make new friends.


Mom cuddling Peter. Yes, mom is finally starting to feel better from her stitches. I'm looking forward to getting them removed Monday. I still have a bit of a black eye so I'm glad I got to wear sunglasses all day!


We had a fun day! Sunshine, good potluck food, walking, playing, and making friends. We had lots of fun and came home EXHAUSTED!!!
