Mommy didn't want to wake up this morning when you both decided to start your day, so Daddy postponed his work and substituted for Mommy, only for about an hour though. Mommy stayed up until 3:30 a.m. working on homework and organizing pictures for baby books. Mommy decided that a day at the park was needed, especially if I were to stay awake.
Mommy packed the usual snacks and supplies and we headed to Highland Park. Jude, this was your first trip to Highland Park. We left Mr. Murff and Mr. Arlo behind because they would have never made it. Instead, Grandmoo drove them and met up with us later on. When we arrived, Bodhi, you of course wanted to swing. So Mommy got you both out to swing for a while. Afterwards, Bodhi, you played on the play equipment, but this didn't last long before Jude began to cry. So, Mommy broke out the snacks and everyone had a bite to eat. Jude, you were not thrilled about having formula, and it actually made you gassy. So, Bodhi, Mommy chased you around the park with Jude on my hip. Mommy, wasn't having so much fun so I packed you both up in the stroller and we began our exploration of the park. We saw ducks, dogs, and squirrels, not to mention several beautiful trees. Everyone was happy once we were moving. Jude, you fell asleep.
Grandmoo showed up with your guys' fuzzy brothers. Bodhi, you started screeching. You didn't realize right away that it was Grandmoo, Mr. Murff, and Mr. Arlo. You always screech when you see an animal, but once they got close, you really had a fit :) We all walked along the Indian trails, across an old bridge, and went to see Big Ben or Old Ben and the Old Sycamore Stump. Bodhi, you again got out of the stroller and was running all over the place. Jude, when you woke Grandmoo startled you by making monster noises, and you started screaming because Mommy was out of sight. Grandmoo felt so bad for scaring you, meanwhile, your sister took off for some play equipment nearby. Once Grandmoo and Mommy calmed you down, Jude, Bodhi had disappeared hee/hee (only about 30 feet away playing) but still, it startled us both. We spent a total of three and a half hours at the park. Bodhi, you had a blast! Jude, you enjoyed yourself most of the adventure, but I think you would have rather been back at home instead. Bodhi and Mommy will make you an outside guy before you know it! Mommy loves spending our days at the park together! We will definitely be visiting Highland Park more often.
