It was Wednesday already, boo! Amazes me how fast time goes, especially when you're having fun :)
We initially had plans to have a morning play date with Rachel and Parker's buddy Jeremiah, but unfortunately we just couldn't make our schedules work. Due to our freed up schedule, Parker and I decided to pay daddy a visit at work! Parker made out like a bandit, snagging up a ball and nerf toy from Scott's desk. He had fun chatting up Scott's co-workers and throwing the ball in his recycle bin.
After this stop, I realized it was Parker's half birthday today! So in honor of that, we stopped at a local store and picked out a new toy for him (since we don't already look like a mini Toys 'R Us at home). Parker had fun playing with several toys, but finally decided to take this baby home (in the seal version):

He loved his new toy so much that he attempted to play and "roll" in in the car on the way home! Once daddy came home later that day, he was so excited to show it off. Unfortunately, I haven't caught in on camera. The rest of the day was spent hanging out at home and just enjoying each other's company :)
Day Four:
Thursday was Omaha Zoo day!! We were so excited for our mini trip, even if it was a little warmer than we would prefer to trek around the zoo all day. Scott had an early breakfast meeting that day, so we were on the road by 9am. It was a fast trip with minor whines from the back seat, Parker took a short nap and by 11ish, we pulled into the local Jimmy John's for a bite to eat.
The zoo was just down the road from Jimmy John's, so we loaded up and headed on over. The day was spent wandering through the jungle, aquarium (where P gazed at the many fish and sharks) and a few other enclosed areas (these were air conditioned thankfully!) as well as outside to see the many giraffes, rhinoceros, monkeys, tigers, etc. He loved to get out at the inside exhibitions and walk up to the glass. Ook, ooh! was his favorite expression and he just couldn't get enough of the gorillas.

P really was a trooper, we hit just about every exhibit and zero whining came out of his mouth. We piled in the car about 2-1/2 hours later and that kid was zonked out before we were even out of the parking lot. Pooped from the heat, Scott and I decided a trip through the Dairy Queen drive-thru was well deserved for the car ride home. I'm pretty sure a blizzard has never tasted so good!
