Savoring Every Moment Together

Last week, we enjoyed several fun filled days with Conner's buddies and cousins. We started out by hitting the Splash Pad and Celebration Park playground in Gardendale with several friends from the neighborhood on Tuesday. Conner is sure going to miss spending his days with John and Ava after he starts back at school this Wednesday. We will definitely have to do some late afternoon playtime with his buddies.
On Wednesday, Gram brought our cousins, Cameron and Madeline over to Birmingham for a last hoorah before they started back to school on Thursday. We really did it up...starting at the zoo, heading to Chuck E Cheese for lunch, and then finally on to the pool for the afternoon. Conner thoroughly enjoyed their visit and cannot wait to see them again soon. Cameron even told Conner that as soon as he got a little bigger he could come spend the night at their house. Okay, Marlo, I plan to take him up on that one soon!! :)
Our friends, Laura, Ann Luckett, April, John, Ava, and Amelia Kate all joined us at the zoo. We visited the Lorikeets for the first time and Conner loved seeing all the colorful birds landing on everyone. The birds especially loved Madeline and Cameron. Conner rode the carousel for the first time and enjoyed it despite being extremely hungry!! Daddy met us at Chuck E Cheese for lunch. Conner loved Chuck E Cheese the mouse in person. He even got up on stage with him and danced. Zack also took him over to see the one walking around the restaurant where Conner proceeded to reach out and grab his nose. The boy is not afraid of anything!
To round on the week, we headed to the Galleria for another ride on the carousel with our friends Brooke and Madeline and lunch on Friday. The two of them were cute sharing a kids meal and ice cream! Madeline tried to show Conner how big girls and boys can walk around without being confined in a stroller, but as soon as I decided to let him out, he took off. He pushed the stroller around the food court and center of the mall...into everyone and everything. I think that we still have a way to go before he can be free to roam around!
