Another walk down Center Street

Remember our walk down Center Street last year? Now that Archie is old enough to enjoy it a little more (especially the part by the river), come take another walk with us. This post is a bit out of sequence as the actual date of our walk was April 6. (We had the day off for the Tomb Sweeping holiday, but I think there were more people out playing than sweeping tombs!) You can tell from the pics that the weather had warmed up a lot and parts of the river were even starting to thaw!


I think the highlight of Archie's day was the pink bunny balloon. Although Hunter and I had already decided not to buy Archie any of the toys the peddlers were peddling, we were awfully glad when a nice college student gave this to Archie because it kept him entertained all afternoon and for several days thereafter. (It also served as a nice decoration at our Easter party.) We think we might spring for a balloon next time!

Another highlight was all the kids. Archie found plenty of little playmates while we were out.


This little boy was even nice enough to let Archie have a turn on his riding toy.

The little boy in the white cap below was really funny! Although he was a month younger than Archie and therefore a "little brother" his verbal skills were a little more advanced. When it was time to go and we put Archie in the stroller, he started to cry. The little boy continually comforted him by saying, "Don't cry, don't cry - bie ku, bie ku!"

Archie's preferred mode of transportation down the street - foot!

Most popular activity of the day? Kite flying! Maybe when Archie's older we'll try it, too!
