First off, on Friday our play group met at the "Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari" that is about 20 miles away. This is a drive-through zoo that Caeden had never been to before. The drive-through part was a little long and Caeden was getting kinda bored part of the way through it. But then we began the petting zoo & walk-through zoo and he loved it even more! I got lots of really great pictures, but just picked out a few to put on here!
Yes, that's a real peacock sitting on the entrance sign!
This is a monkey who jumped on our car. This picture is looking
up through our sunroof. The kids thought this was hilarious!
Some ostrich-type bird staring at us through our window!
And we were seriously inches away from this zebra.
I've never been that close to a zebra before!
Not so sure about the rooster...
but it ended up being one of his favorite animals to see!
Another favorite...the turkey! I had to bribe him
to get him to see some other animals!
And this little brown fella - Caeden loved him also!
Here's Caeden just feet away from a kangaroo!
The only thing separating them was the rope...
As he was petting this baby goat, he was saying,
"I love him Mommy!"
After the fun, but exhausting, visit to the zoo, we went home and crashed!! Daddy came home after work for just a few minutes to say good-bye, and then Caeden & I headed to eat dinner at Chick-fil-a!!
We met some friends at First Friday on the Bentonville square. Caeden got a frog tattoo on his hand (see picture below), got to play in the fountain, hear some music, and pretend to be Shrek! :)
By the time we got home, it was bedtime for Caeden, and "stall time" for mommy. I did not want to go to sleep without Reid so I tried to find things to do, stayed up too late, and was then extremely tired in the morning! But when Caeden woke up, we ate breakfast, played at home, and then went to the Farmer's Market with some friends. No pictures of this, but Caeden's favorite part was picking up rocks (as usual). We then walked to a nearby park and played until lunchtime. After eating lunch in our backyard together, playing outside and taking a nap, we got down to business! Mommy cleaned the whole house, while Caeden played contentedly by himself for almost two hours (we should write this in the record books!!) Then....our friends came over! The other mommies/kids whose husbands were gone camping came over to eat dinner and play outside. Caeden had fun eating pizza and getting wet in the sprinkler!
Caeden and Hannah having fun together!
After our friends left, it was bedtime for Caeden, and this time...mommy learned her lesson and went to bed earlier. We got up and went to church together on Sunday morning, came home to eat lunch, and then DADDY GOT HOME!! We were both so excited to see him, and were so proud to have survived the weekend by ourselves! It was a fun, busy weekend! And while I didn't enjoy the nights by myself...I loved every minute I got to spend with Mr. Man!
