The weather is finally getting consistently nice so I feel it's safe to say, summer has begun. Too bad I go back to work next week! We kind of kicked off summer by going to the Grand Rapids "Arts Festival" downtown last weekend. It's nothing too exciting actually, food tents, music, and a few activities for kids. Carter's still a little young for most of the kids activities, but we still had fun walking around sampling the food and listening to some of the bands. Carter really wanted to find some games he could "put money in and play" but there were no such things and it was hard to get that through to him. We tried to have him paint a picture in the kid art area, but he didn't want to do it (the kids have to enter this roped off area without parents and a helper person sets them up to paint...he didn't like leaving us). Mia had a ton of fun, we put her in the baby Bjorn facing out and she loved looking around at everything.
We didn't take many pictures at the festival, here is one of Mia in the baby Bjorn.
Also, Dave went out to mow the yard the other day and came upon this tiny baby deer! She was the smallest deer we'd ever seen. She was laying in our field, looking like she was only a few days old and unfortunately we didn't see her mom anywhere. She got up and moved once so we know she could walk and she didn't seem injured in any way. Carter loved posing with her and he insisted we give her some carrots in case she was hungry (she didn't touch them). We think her mom came to pick her up later that afternoon because the next day she was gone. That's the story we like anyway.

Mia looks so cute in the Baby Bjorn, and you look SKINNY! Good job! : )
I'm sad about the poor little baby deer though. : (
Yup, I'm sure that the mother deer was just out for the afternoon and left the fawn and then picked it up later that evening.
I like to hear about Carter trying to put money into things to get stuff back.
