One of our friends in the building turned 6 and we celebrated in Central Park. A different area than Red's party, and one that we had never been to, so it was a fun adventure. The theme was "ladybugs", so there were a bunch of nature activities for the kids, as well as a splash pad nearby...perfect summer fun!

| Delilah was the first one to catch a ladybug (see below) and she was SO PROUD. |
And normally I don't post about every birthday party we go to, but there was one moment with Red that stopped me in my tracks. The above pictures are adorable, but the pictures below show a moment that I will never forget. The kids had all received a "bug jar" that they could decorate and then use to go try to capture ants, worms, and a ladybug if they were really lucky. I was helping a bunch of kids and then looked around to find Delilah...she was about 15 feet away, at the water's edge, lost in her own world, trying to capture a dragon fly. The image was just so completely, incredibly "her", that it literally took my breath away. As soon as I could breathe again, I grabbed my camera, took a picture, and said thank you to God for letting me in on such a beautiful moment.
I love your dreaminess, Red; I just love it so much.
