Family Fun Day

Yesterday, Sean took the day off work and we declared it Family Fun Day. Nonni came and stayed with Sullivan so we could get the big kids out of the house for a while and not have to worry about nap schedules. It was so fun having a whole day to just play and have fun with them! They loved the special attention also! We started our day off at Mountain Play Lodge. They both got braver as the day went on and tried things that they were nervous to try when we first got there. I love seeing them have the sense of accomplishment when they try something new!

Then we decided to brave Olive Garden for lunch, since we only had the big kids and I love any chance for pasta :) They did really well! Their favorite parts were the "salty bread" (Porter) and the chocolate mints (Savannah). 

After lunch, we went back to Mountain Play Lodge to finish playing and then followed it with a trip to Sweet Frog.

They were both pretty tired by the time we headed home to get Sullivan.

We came home with the intention of playing outside for the rest of the afternoon, but a bee's nest changed our plans. So we headed to Lowe's for bee spray and decided to go check out the new Publix grocery store. Everyone got to pick a treat. Savannah chose strawberry donuts, Porter chose jelly beans and mommy and daddy chose red velvet cake. 

We finished the day by looking at lizards, smiling horses and kitties in tutus on Daddy's phone while all cuddled up in Porter's bed. Yes, they picked the pictures :) I love special days like this with our little family!!
