Daddy Day Care

Amber had a training thing to go to today for school, so I spent the day at home with the kiddos. Not that this is such an abnormal thing for me to do, but I wanted to make the day fun for the kids before they start back up full time in day care. Well, the rainy weather was a challenge to make many outdoor plans, but we made due, and here's a run-down of our day:

After breakfast and during a break between rain showers, we went for a good neighborhood walk. We even visited the home lot that our friends Dan and Erinn (and Ellie and Jack) will be building on in the near future.


After Carsyn's nap, we headed to Chris's work to say a quick hello (and let another quick rain shower pass by). Then, we headed on a bus trip across campus. Here we are at our first bus stop...


And here we are on the bus. Tanner was totally excited...


We stopped at the Creamery and shared a bowl of delicious Keeny Beany Chocolate ice cream...


Carsyn may have had more on her shirt than in her mouth...


...but she LOVED it!!!


And of course, this is an easy way to please Tanner, whose favorite color is still brown because "it's like chocolate!"


Back to bus stop for a ride into town...




We finished our trip with a stop to the Growing Tree downtown toy store. I would have loved to get a picture there, but I got distracted by an urgent bathroom request and our necessary run to Panera Bread to handle that. Anyhow, the kids were great, we had lots of fun, and again I'm reminded how much I love them. Take care!
