New Playground (to us)

In my attempts to plan Jack's birthday party, I have been scoping out the playgrounds around this area to see what would be the best location. I had just about settled on the little kids playground in Alachua when someone told me there was another was down the road a bit. We decided to take our Labor Day to check this park out. It is for bigger kids but Jack and Jolene had no trouble finding lots of fun here.

Daddy! Here I come down slide!
No playtime is complete without our good buddy Jolene around.
Jack showing off his daredevil skills while he rides around the merry-go-round in the middle and with no hands!

Super secret dinosaur fossil under the rock wall. Jack is really into dinosaurs now so this was cool to see.

All in all I think this is the best choice for Jack's birthday party. The bathrooms are much cleaner here, the playground is more centralized, and it has a bigger pavilion and parking lot. 4 more weeks till the party!

First Movie: Winnie Ha Pooh


We of course had to go with our very good friends, the Brown family. We posed with Jolene after the movie to always remember this fun day.
Say Cheeeeeeeeseburgers!!!
Jack learns all about buying candy before we go into the theatre. We mixed these with some smuggled in goldfish crackers for a perfect movie snack. We also got a large popcorn and 2 drinks for the big kids. Way too much food for an hour long movie.
After the movie we had a yummy dinner at our favorite place, Moe's! We all ate way too much and were waddling back to our cars when we were done. Jack was holding Jolene's hand to make sure she was safe.
Big hugs as we said goodbye!

I like Daddy!
