Family Fun

Mark has been tracked out for the past couple of weeks and returns to work on Thursday. We decided to take advantage of our family time and headed out last week for a fun-filled day. Our first stop was the Hurricanes practice. We arrived at 11am to find out the practice had been pushed to 11:30. Luckily our girls found ways to amuse themselves for a 1/2 hour. It's amazing how much fun steps can be!

We finally got inside the arena and enjoyed watching the players skate around the rink, practice drills, and take shots at the goal. Kate and Lauren had fun sampling various seats. Kate typically chose seat #4 on each row since that's her age.

After the practice, we grabbed some lunch and headed to Pullen Park for a family picnic. Once full, the girls and I took a ride on the Carousel. Both girls selected ostriches as their animal of choice. We went around SEVERAL times due to the slow season. Next stop...the playground.

We tried out both the yellow and blue slides. Kate's method was usually facing forward. Lauren prefers going feet first on her belly. Whatever makes it fun!

The day ended with a walk through the park picking flowers and making bouquets to take home. We had a wonderful time as a family and look forward to our next outing! Enjoy!
