Cross "Park"ing & First Happy Meal!!

So this post maybe a bit confusing and surprising in the very same post! 
We started our day at Jacob's school wide picnic at Civic Center park.  It was a "blast" just like Kaitlyn said! (Kaitlyn is Jacob's little friend from school).  They had face painting, moon walks, slushies, games, a playground, and so much more! All of Jacob's little school friends were there as were his teachers.  Jacob & Grace both enjoyed all the little activities and both got a turtle painted on their arm.  A few Mom's that I've become friends with asked if we wanted to do lunch (they are a group of friends who have known eachother for a few years) I was totally up for it!! (All THREE kids were being so good I thought why not??)  We decided to do some cross "park"ing (as termed by Sarah).  We thought there were too many of us (6 adults and 9 kids all under 4) to go to a restaurant so we thought we'd get lunch and cross parks! We hit up McDonald's and Jacob & Grace got their first EVER happy meal to eat at the park!! (Just recently Jacob started eating nuggets so up until then we never got him one! They split one since they both don't eat too much of that stuff and did very good with eating it!! YEAH!) We then headed to George George park (my new FAVORITE park) and spent the rest of the afternoon eating lunch, playing, chatting and just having fun! We all had so much fun there, and can't wait to spend more time with them during the summer! (Jacob talks about this little group of kids all the time Kaitlyn, Jacob B. & Vito).  

Funny side note... they are all picky eaters (Kaitlyn ordered a hamburger bun with just cheese and then only ate the cheese... that is how she ALWAYS does it), Jacob B.'s sister is also nicknamed "Lou" or "Lou Lou" and doesn't like all things girly just like Grace.  We have alot in common, it is really nice.

Tonight we headed to Pa & Bets house to spend time with Pa on his birthday.  The kids really love the new swingset there... can't wait to get one of our own!
