Yesterday (Monday) was our “Saturday”. After getting ready for the day and having breakfast we all went to the zoo and enjoyed monkeying around. Brooke had a fun time running from animal exhibit to animal exhibit. Then we went and had lunch at No Frill Grill before it was Brooke’s nap time. It was a nice family morning.
With the beautiful fall weather we’ve been having Brooke’s been getting ready for it by wearing jeans and sweaters lately. It’s a welcomed change from the heat of the summer.
Brooke got a new table and chairs for her room this past weekend and she was a big help to Dad in putting it together.
Today Brooke went to her first day of preschool which she will attend once a week for 3.5 hours every Tuesday morning. We got her all dressed and ready for school with her name tag so all the other children would know who she is. She was super excited and when we got to the classroom she ran right in, grabbed two bouncy balls, and started playing. Laura and I tentatively waved goodbye from the door but she was already having a blast. When we picked her up the teacher said she did great, but that she wanted to play outside the whole time and got upset when she had to come inside. I suppose we have been spoiling her with nonstop playground time at the park.
With the weather getting nicer, we finally got to use our new bike rack tonight. We went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens and enjoyed their bike night, where they allow biker riders to ride around the gardens in the evening. We even packed a picnic for us all to enjoy.
