We started out by going to the zoo. It meant pushing the boys naps back but it was just too nice a day to pass up. The boys shared the double stroller and got out for a bit as well. Jackson's favorite part was feeding the goats, while Parker just enjoyed watching everything (and getting a small stuffed elephant as souvenir of his first real zoo trip).
After the zoo we went to O'Charley's for lunch. Parker ended up only getting a 20 minute nap (normally his morning nap is 2.5 hours), but he and Jackson were absolutely great at lunch. We also had a wonderful server who knew how to handle families with small children. So it meant that Mommy and Daddy got to enjoy their lunches too!
Next we went to the park--like I said, it was a gorgeous day. Parker enjoyed his first swing ride, see-sawing with Jackson, and sitting on the slide. Jackson just loved being outdoors and climbing on everything.
We soon left and both boys were quick and easy to go down for naps, giving Mommy time for a nap and Daddy time to get some chores done and rest. After naps we played outside until Mema and Grandpa came over for a grill-out. Again the boys did great during the meal and we all had fun hanging out.
Soon enough the boys went to bed and Anna and Ryan got a date night (two weeks running). We watched "The Accidental Husband" which was a good light comedy before finally calling it a day.
Now we just need to figure out how to make everyday just like this day. 😃
