So since Papa Vaughn had to work both Saturday and Sunday this week we adjusted our Mother's Day plans accordingly. He didn't have to work Saturday until 6 and at 2 on Sunday so we went out to spend family time like I wanted on Saturday. The kids were great and let both Papa and I sleep in and lay around until about 10 am!!! Yeah! In actuality, we did wake up numerous times, getting them cereal, putting on a movie and diffusing the few disagreements that arose. Regardless it was really nice to just be bums! Once we finally got moving for the day we had a quick lunch at Taco Bell (yes, not very exciting) and then I went to go spend my birthday gift card at Kohl's while Papa and the kids went to wash my car. Unfortunately the car wash was closed but I still got plenty of shopping time.
The rest of the afternoon was spent enjoying the zoo. Papa Vaughn and Boopy had never gotten to feed the giraffes before and Papa hadn't seen the stingray exhibit which has returned for the summer. We had so much fun just taking our time to enjoy the stuff we wanted to see. To add a bit more fun to the day after the zoo and since we got in free to the park (for our military pass) and the zoo (with our membership) we went across the street to Playland to ride the train. The kids really enjoyed it, especially Big Boy, although Boopy was thrilled with getting to see lots and lots of ducks. After our train ride we were given free tickets by people that were leaving the park for the day so we took a quick spin on the carousel horses.
Overall, a fun, fun family day! Just what I wanted! Stay tuned for more catch-up posts!
