school fair fun


lately we've been taking advantage of the extra hour or two of daylight, the gorgeous spring weather here in New Orleans and our close proximity to City Park as much as we possibly can.

earlier this week we spent a late afternoon in the park feeding the geese, ducks, and even one of the huge swans - look for a post on that later this week.

and this morning we headed over there for a school fair. nicolas wasn't too thrilled about going in the museum to talk about schools, but he totally enjoyed the inflatable jumpy thing outside.

he had so much fun jumping and running back and forth in there. it even had a very steep slide that he tried a couple times.


after we got out he spotted one of the Saints' mascots - Sir Saint. He had gotten totally freaked out by him earlier when he walked by the jumpy thing, but he kept asking about him too. When we saw him out on the park lawn, Nicolas couldn't stay away.Can you blame him? Look at this thing:

we followed sir saint around for a bit:


and then we got closer:


and were finally able to calm down enough to get this photo snapped by a nice passer-by:
