Outdoor Weekend (part 2)

On Saturday, we took part in the Heart Walk, representing Spectrum Health in a team that Ray put together.  We brought Maia's stroller, and she was content in it for the first half hour, while we waited for the rest of the team to arrive.  There were lots of little health-related booths to walk through, and while sitting in the Herman Miller booth, Maia met Griff, the mascot for the Grand Rapids Griffins AHL Hockey team.  She was fascinated, and couldn't keep her eyes off him.  (Good for her, I thought. At six years old, at Disney World, Jiminy Cricket kissed me and I screamed in fear! He seemed huge!)

So we tried her in the wagon with Gracie, the youngest daughter of Ray's co-worker, Jeremy.

But it turns out, Maia wasn't so great at sharing, and kept taking Gracie's stuff.  So... she rode on Daddy's shoulders.

She was delighted.  She was drumming on daddy's head, waiving her hands in the air, and doing her "human squeaky toy" impression!

However, that couldn't last forever... so there were lots of hand offs, a little walking (she couldn't keep up with the pace, or she probably would have walked more), a little bit of riding... and by the end, she was exhausted.   So, after a nice nap in the car on the way home, she had a quiet afternoon.

And finished up the day with a little art.
