To a Saturday afternoon. Outside. With my guys. We live in such a beautiful part of the country. There are mountains and valleys, farms and fields, rivers and streams, and the ocean all within a teeny distance. We could do breakfast in one state, lunch in another, and dinner in a third if we really wanted to. It makes us feel FREE, and we take advantage every chance.
Don't you love this bridge? I took this shot Saturday.
We slept in and then headed to the Little League Opening Day Parade in our village. Buby held his Daddy's hand and skipped alongside all the marching kids in jersey. I told Buby he can join them when he's a bit older if he'd like, and he said "OH YES." A very old man behind the wheel of one village fire truck was super sweet to Buby and honked his horn every time he saw our hopeful faces. We ended up at the park and playground with everyone else for some swinging, sliding, and climbing.
Yes, that's Buby--with My Sweets--casting from his stroller.
After the park we walked to our fave coffee shop to pick up some bread {for steak sandwiches later} and a chewy chocoloate chip cookie for ME. Then home to grab the fishing pole and begin our excursion. Destination: A zoo and wildlife refuge. Lots of walking and hills, but I did it. I think someone was trying to jumpstart my labor while he was home.
Lions and tigers and bears! Buby fished in the lake for a bit before we all ventured over to a Merry-Go-Round at the base of the mountain. Little Dude had no interest in the classic animal seats... Buby screamed "SANTA'S SLEIGH" and jumped right in that one. Daddy joined him + the two laughed hysterically as they gazed up at the decorated ceiling. We had to drag Buby out of there eventually. Daddy was craving a rib place we had passed along the way. Yum.
Isn't he cute? There were 3 like this.
These geese came right up to us. I asked the chick in charge and she said they are called Tolouse?? Not sure of the spelling. But they go by the name "Jenny Geese," after the girl who rescued them. I like that.

Sounds like a very fun weekend! How fun that you can do all that where you live. Enjoy every moment! It will only get better with Bebe's arrival soon!
You guys certainly had a fun weekend. There is a big lodge at the place you visited on Saturday...I used to work there. I don't even know if it's open for meals right now, but it was a great place to work.
Fantastic shots! Sounds like a wonderful weekend.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! I definitely want to go to that zoo this year.
Beautiful pics! How warm is it down there?
