A Day with Aunt Jen and Uncle Jerry

We began our day today by sleeping in. Brady didn't get to bed last night until after 11:02pm - the time he was born last year, so needless to say, he slept until 9:15 this morning. Jen brought Brady in to join me in getting ready in the bathroom. Where did she plop him? In the sink of course. This was a great place for Brady to play until he discovered the facet! Luckily, Aunt Jen is fast and Brady didn't even get a drop of water on him.

After a tasty breakfast at Randy's, we headed to Sam's Club to pick up the essentials for our youth group trip to Miller Park tomorrow. This is Brady shopping with Uncle Jerry.
In the afternoon we headed to Leinie's to take the tour with Jen and Jer. Then we went to Irvine Park for Brady to see the animals and play a little. This happy grin came while he was watching the bunnies hop around in their cage.

Irvine Park has a new bear exhibit. We got to see three black bears - really great exhibit. They have added a park area in front of the cages too with these cute bear statues. Brady of course had to "ride" one of them.

After seeing all the animals we decided to let Brady play a little. The swings were by far the highlight of his day. He swung with Uncle Jerry and Daddy and giggled the entire time. I got so many great pictures I had to share a couple.

Love that smile!

The bouncing dolphin was also a big hit.

Brady has been such a trooper these last two days. Our weekend has been filled with fun, birthday excitement. Trouble is that has meant little of our regular routine. He was one tired little boy tonight, but still smiling and in the best of moods. What a sweetheart!
