We had SUCH a great weekend!!!! It was so much fun to celebrate Nate's first daddy's day and to honor him! I didn't nag at all. Except maybe a little bit. :)
Nate's first father's day gift was given to him back in APril. We found a really good deal on an almost brand new hiking baby backpack, which was the ONE thing he asked for when we were pregnant with D. I've used iton a few mommy hikes and for the Bolder Boulder but he gets to soon! I think we may start exploring our neighboring city of Boulder and the beautiful hikes in that area.
For daddy's day Nate wanted to go fishing, so we went on Saturday with friends Ashlee, Bob and Avery. I hadn't been fishing since elementary school and at that time I did not enjoy it at all. I was a bit leary of the whole outting but decided to give it a go for Nate. We had a great time! Nate didn't catch anything. We think it was because he was wearing his skirt. The fish didnt want to be snagged by a girlie man :) It was a beautiful area and a relaxing day- I had fun! I'd go again, just not TOO often ...
Sunday, the official father's day, began with Nate's favorite... donuts and chocolate milk. We ate our breakfast in bed, then headed off to church... what a great sermon! We're so happy to have found a church we both love and that speaks to both of us. We're excited to send Dani to Sunday School when she's old enough. Anyway! On with the day! In the mail earlier that week Ari discovered a coupon to one of her favorite restaurants from California- little did she know there was one sitting smack dab in the middle of Boulder all this time. We had a super cheap lunch at Islands, then we headed down to the Aquarium.... HOW MUCH FUN!!!!
We went through the aquarium twice- the first time I wore Dani in the bjorn, the second time she sat in the stroller.... she had a blast! Her eyes got SO big at every new tank we went to- all the pretty colors and moving fish! We saw octopi, starfish, seahorses, sharks, eels, and TONS of beautiful freshwater fish. We were in shock, though- this teenager and his MOTHER had their arms in the water up to their armpits trying to catch the fish! AMAZING! Everyone around was just staring at them. I walked up and said "Um, excuse me? I really dont think you should be doing that." They yanked their arms out and ran out! I know I already shared my soapbox but again, I'm absolutely amazed at what parents teach their kids to do.
We had a great time the whole weekend. When we got home we took the Banjomeister for a walk, then went swimming before bed time. We were whooped!
