Sunday Family Fun

What a great Sunday we've had! Started with church, Blake's nap, some bad Vikings football (which surely doesn't ruin MY day!), the zoo, and Mexican food.

After the Vikings game, we wanted to go to the zoo and have Blake experience the train and the playground with his Daddy since him and I always go while Scott is at work/school. We got there and started with the train ride, where Blake waits patiently in line and then gave his token to the attendant. So cute!


On the way to the train and kiddie area



Waiting in line: the train was approaching, so Scott boosted him up for a better look. He loves the train!



Starting their train ride. Blake doesn't usually smile a whole lot during these b/c he is so engrossed with the train all he can do is stare.



Ok, I guess he usually looks a little more excited...haha. We jumped right into the train ride, so maybe we should have let him run around and get excited about it first :)



Getting a shoulder ride

Checking out the beach, which is right next to the zoo. Scott brought Blake to the water to wade and he turns around immediately and comes and sits by me. One day Blake, one day. We are going to just keep trying with you and water!!

Decided I needed a 33 week picture, since my prego pictures have been few and far between. Scott is...ok...at taking pictures. You can't see that I'm holding up three fingers on my right hand and Blake looks like he is right below my belly staring up at it! haha

I made Scott try again after checking out the photo (he [reluctantly] agreed). :)

I kept having small (Braxton hicks) contractions during our walk and didn't feel like going home to cook dinner, so we went out for Mexican food.



Thankfully, Blake found something to amuse himself while we waited. We never know how it is going to turn out :) After giving some sugar to the guy behind us, talking to him on several occasions and finally throwing a fork at him, he had to move to my side of the booth where there was no one behind me. :)  

He also seemed to love the music and kept breaking out in dance.

After we ate, Blake was getting restless, so I settled the bill while Scott took Blake outside. This was a smaller restaurant in a strip mall (but turned out to be delicious)! When I exited, I noticed Scott signaling me with the car break lights...oh wait, no he wasn't. Those are hazard lights and whenever the hazard lights are on, I know Blake is "driving" in the front seat. He pushes pretty much every button...his favorite place to play is behind the wheel. Makes me smile every time :)

Once we got Blake strapped in, the car seemed dead and wouldn't start. Our first thought was, "what could Blake have possibly done??" :) Scott quickly checked the battery connection, but it didn't seem to be that initially. Thankfully, we were only blocks from home, so we walked home and later Scott rode back on his bike to check it out. Turns out it was only some corrosion on the battery, which interrupted the connection. Yay, easy fix!! Thankful I have a husband who can figure that out and super thankful Scott was with me when it happened!!
