Castle Island Part II...

Today was a perfect summer's day and a perfect day to go to Castle Island. It was also Dot Day but since we weren't quite sure how Alexander would handle a parade we opted for just Castle Island and not both. Alyson & I took Alexander for his first trip to Castle Island last summer (Read all about it here), but this time he was able to enjoy it a lot more as he didn't sleep during part of it. It's actually cute to see how much of a little baby he looks then as opposed to the little boy now.

When we got there, it was time for Alexander to have lunch so Mommy got him a hot dog & french fries. He did really well with them too. I expected him to shove the french fry into his mouth but instead he took little bites. He loved people watching, but he was mainly dog & bird watching. He can spot a bird out of a tree quite quickly.

After lunch, we walked around Castle Island and enjoyed the great weather. There was a perfect breeze to cool us off. We even changed his diaper al fresco which he seemed to enjoy looking up at the trees. After our walk, Alyson & Grammie wanted to bring him down to the water. It would be interesting to see how he would do with the sand/water. As expected, he wouldn't put his feet down but he did love feeling the water with his feet or hands.

Alexander showed off his walking and with Grampie's help even chased some birds around. The playground was a bit busy, but maybe next time he'll be able to go and play. Hopefully this will be something we do several times this summer as it's a perfect place to hang out on a summer's day.
