Picnics, Playgrounds and Carousels, Oh My!

Today, we met aunt Karyn and Autumn at Faust Park for a picnic, a carousel ride and some exploration on the awesome playground. The cousins ate under a tree on a blanket (while dodging curious bees, geese and ducks), rode the carousel, swung on swings, slid down the slide and even rode a purple dinosaur together! What a cool park -- it'll definitely be on our short list for outings moving forward. Enjoy a few photos below!

Autumn tried on her mommy's sunglasses -- stylish!

Ryan tried them on, too - pretty sweet:

Autumn loved the carousel - she danced to the music, smiled and "oooohed" the entire time:

Ryan also loved his carousel ride, but was entranced by the lights and movement, and didn't crack a smile. What can I say, he's a serious guy:

Here's Ryan and mommy on the carousel:

The cousins sat together for a photo opp, and Autumn took the chance to kiss Ryan's head...ok, or maybe just to sniff his hair - but it's cute either way:

We capped off the afternoon with some swinging and sliding - wheeee!

Ryan, again, enjoying his swinging with a more "GQ" pose:
