Day of Fun!

Lately, Josh has been gone ALL the time. He leaves early in the morning to work on his Internship hours and is gone until the later evening or sometimes the middle of the night for volleyball. On the weekends he has either a Volleyball Tournament or class in Tacoma. It has been really hard on all of us, especially being in Wenatchee without our family and not having as many good friends around. It gets lonely around here!

So, I convinced Josh to play sick from work, internship stuff, and volleyball on Monday and we had such a fun day! I named it Mommy, Daddy, and Noah's day of fun! We decided to go to Seattle and head to the zoo, as Noah had never been there. I think I was the most excited out of all of us, mostly just to get out for a while. We realized also that Noah hadn't been to Seattle since he was a baby. He kept pointing and "Wowing" at the big buildings. We don't want him to be a weird Eastern Washington kid, so we need to make sure that we are getting him out more!

We started off at the Spaghetti Factory (Josh's pick...of course!) where Noah drank A LOT of pop, I let him because it was a day of fun after all! We then went to the zoo where Noah pointed and said "Wow" to all of the animals. He had a ton of fun walking around and looking at everything and watching him was the highlight for Josh and I. He especially liked a gorilla who was also very interested in him. He just learned how to make the monkey sound, so the timing was perfect. Noah kept almost falling asleep and I kept reminding him that he couldn't because we were having fun! We then went to Whole Foods Market, my favorite grocery store, to stock up on some things. This wasn't fun for Josh or Noah, but it was for me, so I think it fit in with the theme for the day!

It was so nice for all of us to spend some time together and to just play and not think about anything. We miss Josh and are counting down the days until he gets to be with us more. We are proud of him as he works so hard for our family. We love you!
