Weekend Wrap Up

Does that title still apply if I'm posting about our weekend on Tuesday?  If you blog, you understand how draining it is to come up with titles to posts, right??  We went to my mom's house for the weekend.  She needed help with a few projects around the house & we were in need of some serious pay back for all the work she's done around our house. 

Saturday morning we worked in the yard.  We tried to get out there early & beat the heat, but it didn't take long to warm up.  Uncle Dave worked with us...

Of course Miles was a huge help...

We did a few projects in the house....took naps...and then went downtown to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner.  We took pictures like the tourists :)

My nephew, Caleb, and his girlfriend, Brianne, were in town from Chattanooga & Alabama, so they came with us...

 

On Sunday we went to the zoo.  I thought it was going to be really hot, but it was very nice.  We spent about 3.5 hours walking around.  These geese followed us around for a while.  Miles did not like them at all.  Poor kid is scared of his own shadow.  Even when Darrin was holding him, he would pick his feet up :)

 

Every time we've been to the zoo, he's been fixated on one animal.  On this trip, he wanted to see the giraffes....then the alligators....and then the playground.  We ended the day on the playground.  He had so much fun.  He was dripping with sweat when we left...

 

We parked my mom's car at Opry Mills.  When we took her back to her car, of course we had to do a little shopping.  Miles has always wanted to ride in the fire truck strollers & Sunday he got his wish.  He was exhausted from the zoo, so it worked out perfectly...

He talked Darrin into the carousal....but of course he was too afraid to ride the normal things b/c they go up and down, so they rode in this, which was completely his speed...  

It was a great, but exhausting weekend.  Sunday night I actually feel asleep at 8:45pm.  And, I am so sore from working in the yard that I can barely walk.  So sad.  I have lots to blog about this week so check back. Have a great week.
