I'm not sure if I've ever said it before, but I love the weekends that Jason doesn't have to work on Saturday morning. It's something you just get used to when you work at a bank, I know, but it really does make the weekend seem so much longer and nicer when he doesn't have to get up and leave for work at 7:30 and get home around 2:00 on Saturdays. Since their base ball game was canceled, he was actually HOME the whole day!!!
And what a beautiful day it was! We headed to the YMCA for aerobics class in the morning and then went straight from there to the zoo. It was a little chilly, but it warmed up nicely by noon or so. We went through the whole zoo and even caught a dolphin show before it was time to head home and get Jordan a nap - it was so fun to be there as a family and just enjoy each other!
The kids petting the goats in the petting zoo area! Sadly, the only picture I got of any of us while we were at the zoo. I tried at the dolphin show to get a picture of Jason and the kids, but it didn't turn out very good (Jordan was getting too close to nap time, I think)!We rested a little bit in the afternoon (after cleaning the house, just in case it rained and people had to come inside for Jason's birthday party). We got some pizza for supper and then waited for people to join us to help Jason celebrate his big day.
We had a big crowd: Matt and Jenny (Brady & Ashlynn), Micah and Angi (Maggie & Faith), Sam and Todd (Will & Ellie), Ben and Elise (Colton), Mark and Suzie (Katie, Michael & Camryn), Eric and Shara! I think I caught everyone - sorry if I missed you, but I was probably busy chasing down a kid or two!
Around 7:00 people started arriving, and we played outside all evening! It was a little chilly again, but I didn't mind it (I'll take that over 90 degrees any day)! Jordan and Faith gave out around 9:30 or so, and then we decided Meggan and Maggie were done and put them in bed around 11:00 or so! The adults got to stay up and talk for a little while, and then people started heading home for the night by 11:30 or midnight. We were in bed (Jason may have been more like passed out, but he wasn't drunk) by 1:00. What a great time to enjoy with our friends! :)
Off to church on Sunday morning and then had some lunch at Famous Dave's and headed home to rest a little/take it easy! Jordan got a nice nap, and we relaxed for a couple hours. Then it was time to go back outside and play! Jordan joined us after his 3-hour nap... Pretty low-key day really!
It really was such a great weekend, and now I'm just excited for Jason to get to start using his Pacers tickets that the kids and I got him for his birthday!!!
I think Meggan took this picture of Boe. Just because he hardly ever makes it on the blog, here he is. This is his new choice of places to sleep ... in Jordan's crib! Jordan thinks it's hilarious when we go in there and Boe is in his bed! :)
