Family Fun Day

We had a fantastic time on Monday. Due to a district meeting Tyson and I had the very rare chance of having a weekday off together. I didn't want to lose the opportunity to do something fun. We officially had a Family Fun Day.

We started out the morning by vacuuming the upstairs. Although it does not sound amazing, we really really needed to do it. Tyson took the stairs and I took the rest. Since I got pregnant I'm down to vacuuming  maybe once a month. Now that Sydney is a crawling monster we worry about having small things on the floor.

After we cleaned Sydney went down for her morning nap. We got snacks ready and got stuff in the car. The minute Sydney woke up we changed her diaper and headed out to the Denver Zoo. We walked around for an hour looking at the elephants, monkeys and birds. Sydney is just barely recognizing things outside of mom and dad. She can now see a plane, a bird, animals - she acts slightly scared at first and then starts to jump up and down.

After the zoo we hit Cafe Rio and shared a steak salad - oh man it was sooo good. Then since it was only a 12 minute drive, we headed to Ikea. I got two toys for Sydney and spice racks that we will use as book shelves. Sydney did not like driving home and due to her short afternoon nap was cranky. We made it home at 3 pm and attempted to put her down for a nap but it did not last.

We spent the rest of the day chilling at home. We walked to Sonic and shared a shake.  Sydney went down at 710 because she was so tired from her short afternoon nap.

It was a really great day. Tyson and I had great chats. We got such a kick from seeing Sydney "see" things for the first time. We agreed how being parents has been such a huge transition but mostly it just means we find joy in different things.

It was a great day
