The little one was up early again today, so we headed out around 7am to take a walk on a nearby nature trail.

It's time for the 2018 Detroit Maker Faire. It's in such a good location since there are so many other fun things for the little one to see.
Like cars!
There are always plenty of robots, doing all sorts of different things (like a dragon blowing bubbles!).
And of course a fire breathing dragon, which has become a staple at this event.
He had a lot of fun with the Magformers and these E-Blox.
After a few hours we stopped by for a little at my parents house. My mom brought up my brother's old cache of micromachines, which Quinn adored.
And then we stopped at Grandma Karath's house, which features two new trucks!
Chris and I snuck away for some quiet time while Grandma and Quinn played with cars.

The last several months I haven't been able to get out and enjoy a lunch break consistently. Honestly I haven't been able to get out much at all since things have been so busy. Today, even though everything was still crazy, I forced myself to leave. It was hot but it was worth it to just sit in the shade for a bit.

We have some poison ivy growing on the outskirts of our yard. It hasn't been an issue up until I realized our little one is going to start exploring and get into it soon.
So I spent the late afternoon spraying a few plants down. Here's hoping they die quickly and don't continue to come back year after year...

I was picking up some supplies at Target and decided to look and see what they had that was Incredibles-themed.
They had this - the three boy characters from the movie on a boys shirt. This is not the first time I've encountered the lack of girls on boys clothes. It's frustrating.
The only shirt I've come across that had a girl on it that was marketed to boys was a cute Moana shirt. Everything else has been pretty boy-character-only focused.
We are not doing our children any favors when we segregate out the characters they're "allowed" to like.

It's another day with a heat advisory. By 9am it was already in the 80s. We decided to try a movie - Incredibles 2. There was a long slog of previews and then a short in front of the movie, so we ended up being in the theater much longer than the already long 2 hour movie. But the 3 year old was silent and enjoyed standing off to the side and watching the movie. He did well for his age and absolutely loved the movie. We also picked the earliest time on a Sunday to go, so of course there were tons of other little kids there.
In the afternoon we did more painting. We picked up some paints to use instead of watercolors and everything went much better. A little messier but he was far less frustrated.
