Dog Picnic

Every summer the group of people we know from walking Peekay at the park get together for a barbecue/potluck, and this year was no exception. Last year this picnic was one of Evan's first outings after coming home from the hospital (although oddly enough I didn't mention it in the blog), so he spent pretty much the whole time in our arms. This year was obviously a bit different... he spent most of the afternoon pushing his stroller around:

A still image doesn't do it justice... after all, you've seen him standing next to things before. I mean that he was really pushing it around:

This is one of his new favorite pastimes. Whereas our evening dog walk used to consist of us taking two laps around the park, nowadays we take one lap with Evan in the stroller and then spend about the same amount of time letting him push the stroller around in the grass. The dog keeps herself occupied by resting in the shade and sometimes chasing squirrels.

After an hour or two of pushing the stroller it can be nice to get a ride back to the car when it's time to go home, though:
