!wow! What a weekend we had! Very eventful! On Thursday we headed down to visit Allison and Carson. Lauren for the first time in a long time took a great nap on the way down. She normally would have slept for 45 min and then awake for the rest of the trip. We had an early night as Friday would be a packed day. Friday morning came quick and we were out and on the street by 9:00 to watch a very nice parade only a few blocks from Cason and Allison. It lasted over an hour! It featured everything from crazy clowns, lots of dogs and horses (which Lauren enjoyed very much), dancing grannies, crazy men driving Harleys and miniVW bugs and candy!!!! Lauren stomped her little feet when the HS bands would play...and she wanted to pet the many dogs that walked on by. What a great morning.
Then we were off to the Milwaukee County Zoo. We were pleasantly surprised that it was not busy. So we saw many animals and many strollers there! Definitely stroller city! Lauren loved the monkeys and sea lions...are those what they are called? I loved the peacocks...do you know that they make the most annoying sound and that a rhino will not charge after them? Randy enjoyed the elephants...i think that he must have taken about 20 pictures of just one elephant! Good job Honey!
Then after that Lauren fell asleep on the walk back to the car. That has been a first that she has fallen asleep in the stroller for like about 9 months. So sweet. She continued her cat nap in the car. We arrived back at home and put her in bed. She was tired but through the monitor I could hear that she was restless. So I peeked in on her and to my surprise her diaper was off and she was trying to fall asleep in a wet spot! OMG That was the first time that has happened! So she definitely broke in Allison and Carson's new baby bed and matress. Opps! Sorry guys.
The next day was spent going to Chicago to visit some of my friends from college. We haven't gone down there since Lauren was born. So what a treat that she got to come with. Tara, Lark and Paul were all happy to see her (and us too I guess!) We had lunch and then stopped at a park where Lauren got to play in the little sprinklers. Then we headed back to Milwaukee for a cookout. Not just any cookout...one with corn on the cob! mmm! and did Lauren ever like it. She would have gone to bed with that thing in her mouth! It provided at least 30 min of enjoyment for her!
The next day was Sunday already and we had to pack up and go...So sad that the weekend flew by. But as you can imagine all good things must come to an end. Thanks you guys for a great weekend...next time you'll have to come up here! There you have it. Wow I can't believe that it has taken me a half of a day to complete this!!! ~I ran errands in between picture posts...so not a whole half of a day!~
