We celebrated Matt's birthday over Memorial Day weekend, and it was a fantastic weekend. It's hard for a three day weekend not to be fantastic, but I think this one was extra special. We did so many fun things.
On Saturday afternoon we ran to the zoo for a couple of hours. It was a pretty day and we didn't have any plans for the afternoon, so we decided to go. We are enjoying our zoo membership, because it's no big deal to just run out there for a couple of hours because it's free.
The picture on the turtle is becoming a tradition, and can I just say I love my baby boy's outfit especially the rare moments we had with him actually wearing his baseball cap.
We visited the giraffes, sea lions, monkeys, flamingos, elephants, and the petting zoo while we were there. We also caught a little of the elephant demonstration and watched an elephant getting a bath.
We rode the train around the zoo too before Nathan got totally worn out.
Saturday evening we invited some friends over to help celebrate Matt's birthday. Matt grilled burgers and we visited and played Rock Band. It was a fun night!
We love all of our friends and had fun rocking out with them Saturday night.
Before everyone left for the evening, we ate cheesecake. It wouldn't be Matt's birthday without cheesecake :).
On Sunday night we were thinking of things to do and decided to try a Driller's baseball game. Oh my goodness, we all had such a good time.
We sat on the lawn right by the children's area. Nathan walked all around.
We let him play at the splash pad. He had a blast playing in the all the water.
It started to get a little chilly and we saw him shivering once, but he didn't want to leave. We dried him off and changed him, but all night he kept wandering back over there hoping we'd let him play in the water. There are several splash pads around our city and we've already tried a few of them out since Sunday. I'm sure we'll be frequenting them a lot over the summer!
He played at the playground for awhile too.
And of course he ate some snacks and a couple bites of our hot dogs.
Oh yeah, there was a baseball game going on in the background too. Nathan liked to walk around, and the only time he sat still was while he was eating. Good thing Matt and I aren't huge baseball fans, because we only caught bits and pieces of the game.
We all had such a good time and can't wait to go to another game soon!
Monday was Matt's actual birthday and he didn't have to go to work! For his birthday dinner he wanted to grill steaks. My parents joined us for dinner. All he requested for dinner was steak and bread. Oh my husband, that's all he ate too.
We ate and played a game of Settlers. It was a great way to end our long weekend.
