Spontaneous Adventures

What a weekend! Friday started out relaxed and normal. Everest and I played together in the morning since he didn't have school. We also straightened up the bedrooms and got everything folded. I tried to get Everest to take a little nap, but he wanted to just sit in bed and practice writing. Eventually he did fall asleep.



When Heath got back from working, Everest was up again, and we hung out. We chatted about having an impromptu family day because Heath was going to be gone all weekend. Meanwhile, Everest wanted to take pictures of us. Silly boy. :o)




After my young men got Julie, we headed out to the zoo. Unfortunately, they closed early because of an event that night. Not be deterred, we went to a park to play for awhile, then got some donuts. (Sort of a necessity every time we're downtown!)






On the way home, we decided to have dinner at Fargo's Pizza, an absolutely wonderful place that seems like its been around forever. Both Heath and I remember going there as kids. It was neat to get to share the place with our own kids. Julie said it was the best place we'd ever gone for dinner. :o) On the way out, we did the photo booth in the arcade area.





It was a lovely family day, even if it did end up spilling past bedtime. Heath and I had some much needed time together after we put the kids to bed. Later in the evening, I caught a movie with Legolas--Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which was actually quite good. Totally new take on the story and well-done CGI. All in all, it was a great but exhausting day.
