We had a special request for Grant to model the new "denim" diapers with his cowboy gear...giddy up...

Pool Time!

First Word??

Probably more coincidence than first word, but we took Grant to feed ducks at the Duke Gardens after the 'rodeo,' and he kept pointing at them and saying "duh." He loved the ducks, so we'll take him to see more later this week, and if he does it again, then maybe we'll count this as his first word, but if he points at them and says "muh," then we'll know we've got to wait a while longer.

More duck pointing..
The ducks were quite friendly, although we decide to leave once the cheerios ran low and they had us surrounded & started quacking in what sounded like the start of some sort of duck feeding frenzy...
Grant enjoyed cooling down on the chairs at the Duke Garden Center...
Chair hopping is one of his favorite activities

Grant's First Rodeo

So this isn't exactly what I thought Grant's first rodeo would look like, but that doesn't make it any less of an awesome experience. Today we went to the Bull City Food Truck Fiesta: all the Durham food trucks congregated at Sam's Quik Shop for a mobile feast. And you know how a group of whales is called a pod? Well, it turns out a group of food trucks is called a rodeo. In honor of the mobile meals, Grant ate his lunch (peas, carrots & black beans) from his Snack Trap.

Dining options included your expected tacos & burgers along with Indian, Korean, cupcakes, crepes, and so much more. We ate at some mystery place that had a poster board sign, but the shortest line & surprisingly good food. We really wanted to try the Indian, but we'll have to just track it down some other time because we weren't about to wait an hour (or more?) for food from a truck.

We had to park on Duke's Central Campus to get to Sam's, so we decided to explore while we were there and couldn't believe the changes. This is Uncle Harry's now:
And here's the cute new Devil's Bistro... (Sorry, I know it's not even a Grant picture, but I was too impressed by the changes not to share)
