We decided to take a day and spend it together as a family on Friday. Tyler had to be at a seminar from 12 till 1, but other than that, we were all free. Originally we planned to go to the zoo in the morning and then drop him off, but we ended up sleeping in so we made new plans. The kids and I went to the mall while Tyler was at seminar and then we picked him up and headed to the zoo in the afternoon. Market mall has a corn maze set up right now in one of their foyers and the kids and I had fun spending time in the food court eating some lunch (and a lot of time in the bathroom for Lucy...poor girl) and then headed to the corn maze. We weren't sure what to expect, but it was just a tiny maze perfect for a 2 and 4 year old.
They were able to find their way through the maze 3 times in 10 minutes, but enjoyed every second of it.
We took a few photos with all the cool autumn decorations, and then headed to get dad and go to the zoo. It was a fun trip this time as it was a bit cool outside, so it wasn't very busy. We were able to see the Tiger pacing back in forth in his cage and the snow leopard's were back in their cage, which is one of Tyler's favorites. Their tails are amazingly thick! We tried to make a trip to the dinosaur park, but it's closed right now for some renovations, so instead we headed out to Grandma Bourne's for some pancakes for the kids and then all decided to go to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant for some dinner. We love that place, and the kids love the spring rolls. It was a great family Friday. Pretty typical, but whenever we have a day like that, Tyler and I always express in our prayers those evenings how grateful we are to have the time to be able to spend with our family and enjoy them while they're young like this.
