Swing, Playground, Zoo, Playground, Swing, Hole in the Hose

We did not have much planned this weekend, so we were able to spend a lot of time playing and working around the house. Saturday was a day of swinging, the playground, the zoo, the playground (again), and finally the swing (again).

Our morning started with breakfast at the Pendleton Cafe. When we tried to go last weekend, the ONE highchair that they have was in use, so we walked out. This weekend we had a bit of an early start and were able to procure the highchair, so we were able to enjoy our breakfast.

After breakfast, while David was watering the Greenhouse, Drake and I went for a walk that ended at the playground. We were the only people there and Drake showed me that he is really perfecting his playground skills. He did more alone then he ever has before, including going down the slide by himself and getting off the slide. Once other kids came, he was more interested in observing their activities, but he seemed to enjoy himself.
One of Drake's playground skills is climbing up the slide
My softball game Saturday was canceled, so after the park and Drake's lunch (and his inability to take a nap), we got in the car and headed to the Greenville Zoo. This was the first visit that all three of us made to the zoo and Drake seemed a bit more interested in the animals than when we first went in March.

The leopard seemed quite interested in Drake
In the evening, we went outside of our daily post-dinner swing. Drake has a lot of fun with his swing and just flies through the air!
Yesterday, while David was feeding plants, Drake found a hole in the hose. At first he just stood near the water and slowly inched closer. As his clothes got wet, I pulled them off and let him have fun. Who knew a hole in a hose could be so much fun?
