My mom came to visit Friday around dinner time, so Andrew and I got away on a much needed date. We love Jake and being with him, but it was really nice to go out to dinner just the two of us. Plus we decided Cheesecake Factory isn't really baby friendly. And I'm certain Jake was having the time of his life with Grandma all to himself.
Saturday morning we went to the zoo with my mom. We had a lot of fun seeing all the animals. No matter how many times we go, we always see something new. This time we saw the manatees for the first time. Apparently they eat 300 lbs of lettuce each every single day. And they don't eat it fast, by any means.
Other highlights were the penguins swimming and jumping out of the water. The polar bears were also in the water for the first time that we've seen. They have an underwater viewing area, which was pretty amazing. Jake liked showing his Grandma all the fun animals. And it was the most beautiful day. High 60s and sunny by mid-afternoon.
When we got back from the zoo, Kim and Darrell were here.
Jake loves them, especially Kim. He kisses her like nobody else. Unfortunately, amongst all the kisses, she also had her nose bit this time!
We enjoyed our relaxing afternoon with Kim, Darrell, and my mom. Jake loved all the attention and performing for such a large audience. And we all enjoyed my mom's cooking for dinner!
A final highlight of the night for Jake was laundry basket rides by Kim and Darrell. He had a blast, giggling and smiling every one of the million times they pushed him up and down the hallway.
After a long, draining week, we had a fantastic weekend!
