Keri and Addie both had Monday January 21 off for MLK Day. After a laid back morning of chocolate chip banana bread, playing pretend, and snuggling on the couch we decided it was time to have some fun. We all got dressed and watched part of the inauguration on tv and also took time to remind the kids who MLK was and how he helped to change our world. Then Keri decided we would go on an adventure in our own town.
We loaded up and Keri told us he would drive us around town. If we saw somewhere we wanted to stop all we had to do was tell him and he would! Doak was the first to speak up and chose a fun park near his school. We all played on the playground and had a game of soccer too.
Brock fell asleep on the way to stop #2. But when we arrived he woke up and was happy to continue on the adventure. We never skip his nap so this was a big deal! Addie chose stop #2 to go to the Waterway area.
At the Waterway we watched the beautiful fountains
lounged on Addie's quilt on the grass,
the boys rolled down the hill over and over,
and we had a delicious picnic lunch from a few Waterway restaurants.
We watched the Waterway cruisers (definitely want to do this soon!) and had the best time just relaxing and enjoying each other and the gorgeous weather.
Stop #3 was another Addie pick. She has wanted to go ice skating for months and she finally got her chance! Doak and daddy joined her and they had fun trying something new!
Stop #4 was to Berri-Pop yogurt. Keri and I were still stuffed from lunch but the kids were up for some fro yo with toppings!
Stop #5 brought us back home. We watched a new Wild Kratts special on tv and snuggled together on the couch. Just about a perfect day!
