A Pretty Perfect Weekend

Last weekend was my weekend.  We didn't get to spend much time together as a family on Mother's Day because someone was working on my car, so I was promised to get another weekend.  And that weekend was pretty perfect.  Saturday was beautiful outside so we decided to take a trip to the zoo.  Arnold was given the task of getting Jackson ready, which included putting sunscreen on.  I was getting things ready for our trip when I heard "Uh oh!  Victoria, can you come here please?"  I walk in Jackson's room and see this:

A little too much sunscreen.  After we got that situation under control, we were out the door and on our way to the zoo!  We stopped and got a few hot dogs as Jackson patiently waited, ready for our outing.

We got to the zoo, took a family pic, and then we were checking out the animals!

We saw monkeys, gazelles, flamingos, cows, goats, chickens, llamas, polar bears, giraffes, and more!

All the animal looking got pretty exhausting so we stopped for a snack.  Jackson tried his first solid food, freeze dried strawberry yogurt bites.

Here's what he thought about it, all within about 10 seconds:

This is different.

Not the right kind of different.

Or is it?

Nope, it's not.

But I do want another.

After our snack, we saw some more animals, and then took a nice long walk back, with sippy cup of course.

Such a long, fun day is tiring so when we got home we ate dinner and went straight to bed.

On Sunday we slept in, went to swim class, and then spent our afternoon in Andersonville.  It was another beautiful day so we walked around, went into some of our favorite shops, stopped in some new ones, and got ice cream.  All that walking wore Jackson out and he fell asleep in his stroller. He even stayed asleep when daddy moved him into his car seat!

A great way to end such a sweet weekend with my boys!
