Fun Filled Weekend

This weekend was the first weekend in many that we didn't have any plans and were free to relax and spend our days however we pleased as a family. Nolan was his usual happy self and had fun wherever he went. Here are the highlights....

Nolan sleeping in on the weekend...the kids slept until 8:15(ish) both mornings!!

Eric got the chance to go down to the OSU game on Saturday afternoon with some friends. So while the Dads of these babies were tailgating Nolan and I had a play date with baby Emma :) He wasn't too interested in her except to try and pull her hair. We need to work on that one. Notice how supportive they are of the Buckeyes!

Saturday night we went out to dinner in downtown Powell and then walked across the street to the beer garden where they have live music on the weekends. The band was late but Nolan didn't seem to mind and we were able to sit outside and have a glass of wine.

Sunday morning we headed to the zoo. We had visited the zoo in May but Nolan was maybe only 2 months old and totally uninterested so this time around was much more fun. Nolan was able to look at the animals and watch them as they moved around. He loved the aquarium and looking at all of the bright fish.

Checking out the manatees.

I've mentioned before that Nolan's favorite cartoon is, "Ni Hao Kai Lan." One of the main reasons we decided to go to the zoo this weekend was because Kai Lan was going to be making an appearance. I was really interested to see how Nolan would react to a life size version of her but once we got into the pavilion there was an enormous line that we decided not to tackle. Nolan didn't grasp the whole situation but here she is in the background. Hey, we tried :)
