Today

Today has been a great day. Jackson and I were able to keep ourselves busy which was great! And it was Bryan's first day of real class (not orientation stuff). He started head and neck anatomy ( they are disecting cadavers- yuck).

While bryan was using a razor blade, Jackson and I were invtied to go to the zoo! Thanks a ton to our new friend Kristin and her kids (Eden, Jonah and Lona) for taking us and letting us use her guest pass. As well a a big thanks to Marty and her little boy (mica) and a half - she is having another little boy soon. We didn't stay too long, but it was very hot ( so surprised!- not). We willl be going again. Jackson really liked the fish. There was even an area you can pet some baby sharks, but none ever came close enough for jackson to touch. maybe next time.

Way over exposed, but here is Jackson watching the sea lion show

Marty helping Jackson pet the goats. He was a little scared of them. But Marty sure helped him out with that fear.

In addition to going to the zoo, I made cookies for the first time in our new place. i will never do that in the afternoon again. Though our place has a/c, it took the rest of the afternoon for the house to cool off again once i was done baking. Jackson has never gotten his very own fresh cookie before... here is the result

  

After jackson's cookie adventure we headed off to the park behind our house. It is a wonderful park. The only thing missing is good friends. I miss going out to the park at Wymount and knowing there would almost always be another mom out there to chat with. But it's ok. Jackson keeps me busy as he moves around the play ground and tries to go down fireman poles (aka: scaring me to death).

In our BACKYARD (yes, we have one!!!) on our way to the park. Its right out our back gate.

Taking a detour on our way to the park.

Having fun. He loves the big covered slide. If he could figure out how to sit down in it without tipping out or face planting he would be a pro at it. He scoots himself down it. Its so cute!

 Sorry about the picture over load. We just had a lot of fun today and i didn't want to leave anything out.

And last but not least... the ugly and HUGE bug we found at the playground. It was probably 2.5 inches not including legs- nasty!
