A day in Gloucester

Yesterday we travelled to Gloucester to spend another day exploring the beaches and Stage Fort park. We went back, more importantly, to have a chance to have dinner at a restaurant called Jalepeños. There's one by the same name in Lexington, which my parents frequent, so Dandad thought we should compare.

You might notice Mimi holding her back in the first picture-- this is because Bino insisted on walking just about everywhere he could himself, and of course one of us had to "spot" him.

I'm not sure what the random canon is about, but Bino enjoyed sitting on it.

The last picture is from the restaurant, where Bino refused to sit in a high chair or on a lap. Finally we just let him climb all around some chairs by the front window, which had him absolutely ecstatic. I couldn't capture his laughter, though-- he was just moving way too fast. We stopped off at Target on the way home to pick up some provisions and he insisted on running (literally!) all over the store with one of us holding each little hand. This kid will most likely run before he walks.
