Just About Perfect...

We had so much fun together this weekend. Chris had no schoolwork to do (yahoo!), nothing for work that had to be done, and few church responsibilities which made for lots of time together!!

We've been wanting to go on the train down by the zoo for quite some time, but wanted to go when Chris could go. So we headed down there Saturday morning. Caleb was just about in heaven!




He also got to buy a train whistle while we were there. At first he would just put his mouth on it and make the sound with his voice. But he figured it out pretty quickly and then he bugged everyone at the zoo for the next few hours by constantly blowing it. Here is a little taste of what all the lucky zoo patrons got to hear anytime Caleb was around:



Caleb did take a quick break from the whistle to feed and brush the goats with Chris:



We went out to lunch together and went home and we ALL took a late nap during the afternoon. An unheard of event at our house.

We played Candy Land together (Caleb legitimately won on his first time playing ever! Darn him! :) He proved once again that he is definitely half Nelson by showing his competitiveness. Even in Candy Land. Every time he got a good card he would say, "Oh yeah!" and such phrases. Later that evening we did some shopping together.

Sunday we were lucky enough to have dinner with the Weatherholtz and then they came over to play games. Always so much fun! Thanks, guys! (We took some pretty hilarious pictures, but I thought I might get in trouble with certain people if I posted them here, but you'll have to ask them about the cool pictures....)

Monday we went to Botanical Gardens. Here is Caleb climbing all over:



Then we went out to lunch, and hit the Kung Fu Panda movie. We were going to go swimming, but the pool we joined this summer was closed. So we did the slip-n-slide in the Weatherholtz backyard and had a barbecue there. Again, too much fun!

Overall, it was pretty much a perfect weekend together and the way every weekend should be in my mind! :)

Caleb looks so big standing in front of the train. I'm sad that we didn't get to ride the train with you, but I'm glad you had fun at the zoo!
