aquarium

My weekend was full of family, food and fun.

Friday night started with pizza at my sister-in-law’s house. The boys were out of town for my brother-in-law’s bachelor party, so my sisters-in-law, mother-in-law, the cousins, me, LM and FW got together for dinner.

But Saturday was when the real fun started. My parents had come in late Friday night, so when FW and LM woke up, they were so excited to see them. First thing, we walked to Luna for breakfast.

After breakfast, we headed to the aquarium. It was Grandparents Weekend and they were celebrating by having free admission for grandparents!

LM enjoyed seeing the fish.

But not as much as FW. He was so excited to spend time with my parents and see the sharks, turtles, etc.

After the aquarium and naptime, we hit up the nearby playground. The kids burned off some energy with my parents’ dog.

After takeout dinner, it was time to put the kids to bed and watch some TV. My parents and I watched a few episodes of Jack Ryan — I had never seen it before, but B has and now I’m hooked!

Sunday included a lot of stuff- but no real pictures! My parents left around 10 a.m. but we still managed to have a full day without them. The day included:

B getting home and picking up FW for his family’s golf outing
Some grocery shopping
A 5 mile run
A walk with LM while FW was golfing
Some playing outside

And now, I’m tired. I need a day to recover – having the kids to myself is hard!

Questions for you:

When was the last time you went to an aquarium?
Do you golf?

The weekend included some pretty fun festivities. It included a birthday AND a wedding! And not just any birthday — FW’s birthday! He turned one 🙂

Here is how we celebrated …

I started off my weekend with a cocktail. It’s not everyday your baby turns one! Plus we finally opened the Mescal we brought back from our trip to Mexico City.

FW got some cards and gifts in the mail. We are so lucky to have so many family and friends thinking of us.

We celebrated with FW by going to the Zoo. It was his first time there.

He took a nap while hanging out with some giraffes.

A family selfie.

AND a chocolate and vanilla cupcake! He did not want to touch the chocolate one and ate a few bites of the vanilla frosting. Just like his momma- not a chocolate fan and prefers the frosting to the cake 🙂

B also made us pizza for dinner. Well, not for FW. He’s still not a pizza fan.

Saturday morning started with a run along the park and beach. I got in 4ish miles while FW slept.

And then we attempted to show him the water. He was undecided.

That night we had a wedding to attend! B’s friend Bobby was getting married.

Their cocktail hour was at the aquarium! How cool is that?

Sunday morning came too early – staying until past 1 a.m. and then getting up early with a baby is hard! But I had something else to look forward to on Sunday – a blogger brunch at Saks Fifth Avenue.

After lunch and a little shopping, B, FW and I took a short nature walk near the water. We had never been to this path and it was so cool to see all the birds and look down on the lake.

We finished the weekend with Chipotle for the family. A burrito for B, sofritos salad for me and a last minute order of quesadillas for FW. And surprisingly, he actually ate a few bites!
