Today Gavin and I went to Happy Hollow to meet some friends. We decided to get a membership there since Gavin is now old enough to love it. He actually loved it when he was one last year, but we did not want to start the membership at the end of the summer. He is actually free until he is 2, so it was a great deal!
When we got there my friend Hilary and her daughter Madeleine (15mo) were already there. We have not seen them in a while, so it was fun to get together! M & G were off exploring immediately, and they had the most fun playing in the wood chips. Go figure. They rode the cars for a while, and went down the slides. Poor M had a little “Uh-Oh” as Gavin says. She went flying down the slide before we even realized, and hit her face on the slide at the bottom. Even with a busted lip, she calmed right down, and kept playing. Not much was going to stop her from keeping up with the big boys!
Gina met up with us soon after, with her 2 boys. Jackson (Almost 3) and Charlie (6mo). We all ran around the park, and Jackson helped show the babies what to do. I got to hold sweet Charlie for a little while too:) (Gavin was a little jealous!) Charlie is the definition of an easy baby. He just watched the older ones run around, and would smile when I gave him attention. So sweet:)
We had lunch in the sunshine, while G and Jackson played and ran around. Then we went to see all the animals, and Jack kept yelling “See more animals!!!” each time we saw one. It was pretty cute to watch these two run around and laugh at all the animals. Gavin’s favorite animal was the perrot. Or “Birds” as he says. They were talking to each other, and Gavin & Jack thought this was hilarious. We also got to see lots of other animals like the lemur, turtle, monkey, capybara, pig (Not sure the real name of these things!), fossa, jaguar, deer, duck and meerkats! Gavin LOVES to see the animals.
Right before we left we stopped at the swing that Gavin loves to sit on. He laid on it with baby Charlie, and it was adorable to see them laugh and smile at Gina. I can’t leave him on this too long, or he will fall asleep. His eyes start to get droopy, and he tries so hard to stay awake…that’s when I get him off to head home!
It was a really fun day with work friends, and their kiddos. Hilary, Gina and I are all relief nurses at LPCH, so its nice that we can all get together…Now only if we all lived closer to one another!
