First stop was Lincoln Park Zoo. Christian went to this zoo growing up, but being that it's in the city, it just hasn't been conducive to take our children there when dealing with nap times. Micah's at an age where he can deviate from a nap more easily than before, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to visit the zoo! After they dropped Reid and I at the airport, off the headed to the zoo.
Micah looks so long and lanky here! Such a change from my short, chubby baby.
Christian said Micah was loving the gorillas. I love this picture of his sitting and listening so intently to the zoo staff's presentation!
Apparently 4 1/2 hours at the zoo with no nap can wear a boy out :)
And being woken up to eat dinner at Ed Debevic's was not appreciated!
Not even a milkshake could snap Micah out of his mood.
That was until he finally decided to try it...
And now all was good ;)
The next day after a good nap, Christian took Micah back out to the apple orchard that we went to as a family a few weeks back because he loved it SOO much!
The corn box was his favorite!!
And another dinner out! Daddy was sure spoiling his big boy :)
Monday brought along Micah's first sleepover at a friend's house. Christian had tickets for a concert that just happened to be during our trip so I wasn't around. Thankfully my friend (and neighbor) had no problems taking Micah for the night! She even had plans for them to make their own pizza faces for dinner. So fun :)
Micah did well at Kalik's house, although he was up at 5am for a bathroom break and didn't go back to sleep. Jennie said he was just so excited about Mommy coming home that day that he couldn't help himself. Aww...feels nice to be loved!
All in all, I'd say Micah had a pretty good time while Reid and I were away. I can tell you we haven't done anything remotely that fun since we've been home, haha.
Glad they had so much fun and made such great daddy/son memories! I love the hat picture :) And what do you mean you never have any fun - I saw the silly faces in the post below!
