PBS Kids in the Park

Saturday morning we decided to head to PBS Kids in the Park held in downtown Indy.  We try to make our weekends lazy and relaxing but it was such a nice day we figured we should be outside.  We told Ethan we were going and he was so excited!  Of course he had no idea what to expect, but he loves all things PBS kids.

We were a little nervous about traffic and parking, but we easily found a cheap parking spot.  There were tons of kids there (of course) and it was a bit overwhelming, but we quickly figured out all they had to do.  There were character meet and greets, 2 stages with music, and lots of other activities.  Unfortunately, everything was very busy and there were long lines.  Of all the characters, Ethan was most interested in seeing Daniel Tiger.  After we walked around and watched Curious George on the stage for a book reading, I waited in line to see Daniel Tiger while Jason took Ethan to walk around.  I ended up waiting about 45 minutes, but it was worth it!  Ethan loved it.

Noelle was a darling the whole time, as usual.  She sat in her stroller, took a nap in her stroller, and then was carried in the moby for a while.  She sang and cooed and smiled at everyone.  She is generally happy when we are out and about and she is entertained!

After we saw Daniel Tiger we decided to go walk on the canal.  We saw fountains and fish and ducks.  I think this was one of Ethan’s favorite parts!  Since we have been home he has been reenacting the whole day, in typical Ethan fashion.
