Lately: Hermann Park and Lunch Lady Day

The boys had an early release day last Wednesday and it was a picture perfect spring day. Will had a playdate with two of his best friends, so Henry and I enjoyed lunch together (at Corner Bakery, his new favorite spot) and then spent an hour walking around the McGovern Centennial Gardens in Hermann Park.


This boy is always so happy to be outside exploring!


We found apples growing in the Family Garden. It is a common misconception that apples don't grow in Texas, but they do (if you have the right variety!).

We walked up the Mount and all around the garden, ending in the Rose Garden, where we had to stop and smell the roses, of course!


Henry and I had so much fun together! 

Friday was Lunch Lady Day, which was a time to honor our hard-working cafeteria staff. Our librarian coordinated the efforts as it was based on the popular Lunch Lady graphic novel series. Students wore yellow and black (the color of the book covers) and wrote letters to the cafeteria staff. 


And finally, I'll leave you with a picture of Henry in his Blue Bell hat from last summer. He and Will had a "night party" in his room Saturday evening (it consisted of all sorts of games and activities and went on until precisely 9:04 pm).  Will wore the Blue Bell hat to the party and Henry picked it up on Sunday morning.  


I wonder if I'll be invited to the next night party?
