Weekend

The kids and I had a great weekend with my parents. Friday we got there early and played with fun new toys Grandma has gotten. Then that night we went to Tower Park where they have fun new playground equipment. Janna rode on a bouncy ladybug and Simon enjoyed jumping on the snail. Janna loved the slides while Simon loved going back and forth in the tunnels. It was a fun playground that we will return too. I did bump my head pretty hard chasing after Janna being the overprotective mom. It hurt pretty bad but was better by the morning.

Saturday morning we played in the playhouse and hung out inside. That afternoon we went shopping to Simon's shoes. Simon got his first pair of shoes. Janna got a cute black pair of winter shoes that were on sale. I bought Isaac a new pair of gym shoes ( these were needed about four months ago but were on sale this week). Janna had fun riding the Merry-Go-Round and getting ice cream at the mall. She was really good in the Disney store. She was excited about all the princess stuff but was more interested in the ice cream and left with out a fit. She played on the mall playground with Grandpa.

That night we went my friend's Jaime's for a cookout with a few other friends. Janna and Simon played with Bella (who is almost two). I also got to meet Lilly ( 6 weeks old). It was nice to hang out with friends and both kids behaved although they were tired and out late.

Sunday we went to the zoo. We got to see the Elephants take a bath. Janna and Grandma feed a giraffe. It was a nice day out, great weather. Janna rode the Merry-go-round. She loved the fish and turtles. We saw snakes and alligators. We started to watch the bird show and then planned on leaving when Janna got stung by a sweat bee on her face. She got very upset. We got her some ice and by the that night her face was just fine. I am so thankful she wasn't allergic and her eye didn't well. Right when we were getting ice we ran into another HS friend of mine but we didn't stop long, due the bee sting, Simon being tired (no nap at all and it was 1:30), and my headache. Maybe next time we will make it to the bird show and the cat house. It was a busy day. Janna was out cold in the car and then rested on the couch when we got home. Simon took a good nap once back home.

Isaac came back from being with Matt that afternoon and we headed home. It was a long, loud drive home, but we made it in one piece.

We had a good weekend.
