WOW! What a busy, but very fun weekend. Since it was fathers day, the weekend was up to Jarrod! He got to choose his weekend, what we did, where we went, what we had for dinner... (he'll try and tell you he never gets to choose, but we all know that's NOT true)!
Saturday: Jarrod LOVES going to the zoo as a family. So, we got up bright and early Saturday morning and were at the zoo by 9:30. It was suppose to be hot, but being hot AND the weekend we figured the zoo would be out of control busy hence getting there so early. It sure did pay off to get there though, the parking lot was only 1/3 full and most ALL the animals were out and there was NO line for the train! After a fun filled morning at the zoo we headed home for nap time... after a 3 hour nap, Jarrod wanted to go to his favorite mexican restaurant... and that we did. It was really yummy (we even got deep fried ice cream)!! If that wasn't enough of a fun-packed day... to top it off we hit up the park on the way home to let the little guy swing and play in the water. One amazing thing about living in Hillsboro is that there are so many amazing parks around.
Sunday: After we got home from church, Jarrod just wanted to hang low and relax around the house... and that we did! We had planned a fathers day BBQ with our super cool neighbors a couple days ago. They have 2 kids, Kayla who is 4 and Brady who is 3 weeks old (so little and cute). Mark and Jarrod BBQed some super yummy ribs and veggie kabobs we also had broccoli slaw, fresh bread and I made cran-strawberry orange oatmeal cookies. Brayden also got to give Jarrod his fathers day present (candy, treats, gift card to play at a REALLY nice golf course annnnd pictures of course)!
Fathers day can't officially be wrapped up without a shout out to Grandpa Daryn. He's such a fun grandpa and Brayden is so lucky to have a grandpa like him. I have no doubt that Jarrod gets his amazing work ethic from his dad :)
