A Spring Weekend

We had a beautiful weekend filled with fun, our boyfriends, and new experiences.  We did gymnastics and the zoo (Just McKenna and Mommy) with friends on Friday.  McKenna rode the train, ate hot dogs, enjoyed yummy cotton candy, and…oh yeah, saw a couple of animals too.  :)

 

Saturday the whole family enjoyed “touch a truck”.  In Decatur, the city employees, police, fire, sanitation, DOT, etc bring their work vehicles to a large parking lot and kids climb in the back, cabs, ladder buckets, etc and play.  They can turn on sirens, make the garbage truck compactor run, and talk to the owners of the vehicles.  Kara loved the fire truck and police car; McKenna drove to trash compactor, sat on a police motorcycle, and spoke on the CB radio in the fire truck.  After the trucks we had a delicious lunch with the Lakes family.  Late naps, then on to a crawfish boil with some friends.  McKenna was unusually outgoing and played well with children she did not know.  Kara was hungry and tired and apparently not interested in crawfish for dinner.  In fact, Mom was the only crawfish eater.  So, we got to enjoy a late picnic dinner in our front yard before baths and bed.

We won’t discuss our cold, rainy, lazy Sunday…except to say it was cold, rainy, and lazy.
