Thanksgiving Point

Gabe and I have opposite schedules (I work early, he works late)

that way Miles can be home with one of us as much as possible.

That being said, we don't get a lot of time together as a family.

So we decided that on the days we both have off

we need to make a special effort to do something fun.

Something that involves more than sitting inside a small apartment

and letting summer pass us by.

Well, Thursday was one such day!

In honor of said day we decided to head to Thanksgiving Point to check

out the Museum of Ancient Life.

After running, literally, through the museum

to keep up with one excited two year old

we spent sometime wandering around outside so

we could soak up some much needed sun.

We walked through some of the gardens

and had a lovely little picnic lunch complete with

pb&j, string cheese, apples and strawberries.

Yum. I love a good picnic.

I want to go back later in the summer to check out

that trellis when it is covered in roses!

And by 12:30 we were ready to head home for a much needed nap.

I think we all forgot how wonderfully exhausting summer days can be.

There are so many things that I wish I would have taken pictures of.

Like...

Miles completely zonked within seconds of getting in the car

or Our lovely picnic

or Miles smelling the tulips

Ah well; we had a fabulous time even if we don't have all the photos to prove it.
