Super Weekend

Walked through the entrance and started playing with deer Feeding the bunnies One day I'll have a pic of her not in a stroller Perfect smile Always happy! She wasn't scared at all! Clint had a 4 day weekend and it is not often that we get that many days in a row together. So, Friday we had all of our 4th festivities. Then Saturday was our pool and dinner with Brian and Dawn. Sunday we had planned on getting shoes for both Clint and myself and taking Melanie to Jump Zone (a place with all of those inflatable jumping things...she reallllllly wanted to go!). So as we were getting ready to head out I looked on line for their hours. It stated on their website that children under 3 were not allowed. Hmmmmm, she had been for a party before but not just to play. So, we thought it was maybe not the best idea. We told her that she couldn't go until she was 3 and her poor little lip started to quiver and the tears started to pour. We felt SO BAD! We were ready to buy her a pony at that point. So, we promised her we would take her to some type of kid play place that day. We ended up all getting shoes (by the way I went to DSW for the first time and LOVED it...I am not a shoe person but that store may have converted me). Then I had heard about a place called Mardi Gras Party and Play at the Avenue. So, we headed up there and it was so neat. Melanie got in for 1/2 price b/c she was only 2 and of course Natalie was free (and so were adults). They have jump things, about 10 WII stations (not that we used them) a dance floor, and a play area for little kids (younger than Melanie). They also have all of this leather furniture and nice tables that you can have local restaurants cater food to you while your kids play...what a neat idea!! Next time we want to eat at one of the local restaurants we are going to pay an extra $6 let Melanie play and we can eat in peace. We worked in the yard and Melanie played with the neighbors's kids and it was just a great family day. Today Melanie had gymnastics and we were happy that Clint got to come along. After gymnastics we all went to lunch and then to the Game Ranch. It was the first time Clint has been with me when I've taken Melanie so it was a neat time all around. I wish Clint could stay home more often...we could have tons of fun (but I guess with him not working we would have no money to have fun with!)

You are very brave! I know they are just deer and chickens but yikes, they were close! I bet it was nice to have the whole family together for a few days. That restaurant sounds like a great idea. We'll have to try that sometime when Bo gets a little older.
