Last August Weekend





























The past two weeks we have lucked out and not had any plans either Friday or Saturday night both weekends. The first weekend we decided to use that and spend a lot of quality family time. Friday night we went to Long John Silvers for dinner (Nick's choice). This was more of a treat because we do not eat out that much. After that we took Kenan to play miniature golf for the first time. He had received free coupons for Walthers in the summer reading program at the library and we decided to take advantage of them. I thought he did a great job at trying to hit the ball considering it is not that easy for a 3 year old. Easton enjoyed watching us from the stroller. When we got home the movie Herbie Fully Loaded was on and since Kenan loves cars he sweet talked us in to letting him stay up even later and watch the movie in bed with us (to give you an idea, we got home at 10:30 and the movie was just starting).

The next day was gorgeous and we took a day trip to Garden of the Gods. This is the first year we thought Kenan would be old enough to understand the danger and not run off. It was the perfect day. When we arrived we had a picnic lunch at the campgrounds and then went to hike the overlook. We didn't get to be as adventurous as we normally are since we were carrying an 8mnth old in a carrier and holding a toddler's hand, but we still climbed a lot. Kenan didn't scare me near as much as Nick with Easton in the carrier. I guess because I didn't have control. Since it was a beautiful day we saw a number of people. There were even two older couples that took pictures of Kenan because they thought he was so cute climbing and jumping on the rocks. It was a fun day.
