weekend fun

Last week, there was a kids party that Jake and I went to. There were several activities set up for the kids to do and things for them to play with, one of which was a play bowling set. Jake bowled with a few of the other kids and he had such a blast. Since he enjoyed it so much, we decided to take him to a real bowling alley on Friday night. We went with a couple other families and everyone had a great time.

We got some dinner there and the most extraordinary thing happened....Jake ate some green beans! They weren't your average, healthy green beans though. They were fried. (yes, we are in the south) The boy just likes anything that is fried!!! But, i must admit, they were pretty tasty.

On Saturday, we left in the morning for a little trip to Birmingham. It was only about an hour away, so not too bad. We went to do a little shopping, but while we were there, we also went to an air museum.

At first, Jake was excited to see all the airplanes. One of the displays had a motion sensor and when someone got near to it, a recording would play of an airplane engine starting up. The noise scared him and he was a little reluctant to walk thru the rest of the hanger.

This actually ended up being the highlight of the museum for Jake...the kids playroom.
And this was a close second...Jake was helping Brooke fly one of the simulators they had set up.
It turned out to be a nice relaxing weekend!
