Life in Greenville on a Saturday is very laid back. There really isn't an abundance of activities, so it takes a little creativity to find ways to find entertainment. Drew was really wanting to take Amelia to a petting zoo that is about 1.5 hours away. That sounded like a lot of fun, but knowing Amelia has not had a good nap since Wednesday, and mommy had made big plans that evening, I was worried about toddler melt down. So, we decided it would be better to stay local this weekend. We tried to take her to our church playground, but unfortunately it has a lock and chain, and we don't have the code, so the only other thing we could think of was McDonald's. So, Amelia had her first trip to the McDonald's playground!
She loved going down the slide!
There wasn't much more beyond the slide, but she didn't mind!
It was so cute watching her. She was the only one for a while, but some older kids showed up and she had so much fun playing with them!
Later, she got a good nap, while mommy and daddy worked on some projects. When she finally woke up from her nap, we put on her swimsuit and headed for the kiddy pool. I know, not very exciting, but she loves it and it keeps us cool, so everyone is happy. The local tennis club will allow summer memberships for the pool, which is wonderful, but this summer they decided to cut back on the spots allowed, and mommy was a little slow getting by there and missed our opportunity. We won't make that mistake again! Luckily daddy found a fun pool with a slide to keep us entertained!
As you can see, she is very fond of slides, but really loves being in the water!
Our day ended celebrating daddy's birthday at his favorite local restaurant. Does Eat Place, it is a local landmark. It is famous for it's steaks. We met some good friends, and had so much fun that mommy forgot to take pictures. It is truly an experience to eat there. There is no menu, you order the type of steak you want and how you want it cooked. We ate some yummy tamales, shrimp, and steak with salad and fries.
I found this picture on the internet.
We ended the evening hanging out at our house, and eating some fabulous Paula Deen's banana pudding! You really can't get any better than that. I think that Drew enjoyed his birthday this year!
