Walter Library

The science an engineering library at UMN. (Definitely not Walter's namesake.)

Gardener

Walter with the unplanted garden bed to dig around in.

Checking out the hoop houses.

A special treat when a backhoe pulled up to dig a trench in the yard across the street. (They also had an impressive remotely controlled yellow soil compacter thing.)

Panoramic

Happy hour at Common Roots!

Open Streets!

Walter and Dan arrived in MPLS just in time for the amazing Open Streets event that uncle Colin spearheaded.

Unfortunately, there was a delay due to a smashed car seat en route.

These pictures don't really do it justice, but it was amazing to have one of the busiest streets in South Minneapolis transformed for a few hours to a car-free environment.

Cadillac Kohlstad

Back out at the Grandparents', running around with snoopy

Riding the blue dog.

Blowing kisses.

Amazing independent play with legos (Walter built that whole thing by himself)

box helmet

Beer can chicken, PA style

(It was a chicken from the amish at the farmers market, but it was actually a pretty disappointing chicken with almost no meat on the breasts.)

Hmmm, what to do with this box.

I'll put it on my head.

Now I'll run around with the box on my head.

Oops, fell down.

Time to get up and try again.

Happy snacker.

Strawberry Picking

The grandparents are in town this weekend and we had a nice morning for strawberry picking.

Walter sampled the berries to make sure they were ripe.

Back at home keeping busy inside while it rains.

Outdoor Fun

Walter riding in the bike trailer.

Messy eating

Playing in the yard

Hats

Walter eyeing the grilled pizza

Playing with his new red ball.

Start of Summer

Trying to beat the heat of the last week.

Eggs poached in spinach pesto . . .

mmmmm.

Walter is happy to help us find shoes so that we can take him outside to play.
