A Day Out with Mom

Even though Lauren and I spend every day together, Saturdays that Jason works are different. We try to do something a little different and more fun than our typical routine. Today Cabela's was having a family fun day in honor of Father's Day tomorrow, so we went up there to see what was going on. They had turtle races, a fishing pool, booths set up where you could do different activities, and all kinds of promotional booths. The highlights of our trip were to

1) Watch the turtles

2) Get a balloon

3) Get Lauren's fingerprints and picture taken by the US Secret Service

4) Flirt with the Police Officer (Lauren, not me!) and get a sticker

5) Pet the dog from the radio show

6) Kiss the dog from the radio show

7) Hug the dog from the radio show

8) Cry when we have to leave the dog

9) Point at the fish in the aquarium tank and finally

10) Sit on every bench, seat and ledge she could find

11) Wave "bye-bye" to everyone including the elephant and moose...

I had to take a couple picture of Lauren in the stroller actually wearing her bow. They only last a few minutes...

Here she is watching the turtles "race"

Then we headed to Which Wich for some lunch. Lauren got her first kid's meal and ate it all! She had a whole grilled cheese sandwich and huge cup of milk. I didn't take any pictures in the restaurant with her little bag with her name on it - but I wanted to! She was still drinking out of her cup when we got home and carried it around like a prized possession until all the milk was gone!
