Our Big Night Out

Yesterday morning Lily and I went to playgroup at a local park. Then we came home to relax to and spend the whole day with grandma and daddy. Yes, Chip actually took the whole day off work! Since it was also his birthday, we let him play the Wii all day long (instead of catching up on our TV programs). I didn't get any photos, but it was fun to play Mario Kart and I really like the Wii fit!! Then my mom watched Lily while Chip and I went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant. Chip normally feels rushed when we take Lily out to eat because he knows it is only a matter of time before she gets bored and wants out of her high chair. It is funny to me since Chip also gets bored quickly at restaurants -- he is so not the type to hang around and sip coffee after his meal; he usually hands the waiter the credit card before he can even clear our plates! Anyway, last night we had the whole evening to take our time. I think we were at the restaurant a whole 20 minutes! Our food came out super quick, we ate and then we were like well, that was fast what can we do now?? We could have totally brought Lily with us!! But it was nice to get out and have a good dinner just the two of us!

Here are some pictures of Lily at the park from the morning. It took her awhile to warm up, especially with all the other kids and moms playing, but she eventually climbed up the playground equipment:

She loved running back and forth on this little bridge! But it is on an angle, so she would gather speed on her way down and there are drop offs on both sides! It made me so nervous!! I was a total stress case by the time we left the park!
