Fun Friday

We started off the day by going to Tiny Tots with my friend, April, and her boys, Miles and Julian. They can bring a guest with them once a month, so we were excited that they chose to invite us (: We had been there one time with them before, but I think it was a year ago. When I asked Ronan if he wanted to go to Tiny Toys he said, "I do! I'm going to ride in the jeep." He doesn't forget anything (: Sure enough, as soon as we got there he found the jeep right away (with a little girl occupying it) and asked for a turn. He had a lot of fun and Griffin did too. They have a wide variety of toys for all different ages and interests...riding toys, a play kitchen, a work bench, climbing toys, etc. We spent 3 hours there playing, eating snacks, and playing some more. Griffin fell asleep on the way home and took a nice long nap...Ronan and I did too (:

Later on we went to dinner at Darren and Katie Haynes' house along with the Chase family. The Haynes' just joined our small group at church and we have enjoyed getting to know their family better. The kids ran around the house and played the whole time. It was a zoo most of the time (: We joked that you could tell we were all used to the commotion because we were still attempting to have conversations with each other as the kids were running wild in the background (: We really did pay attention to the kids...and we all took turns making sure they were all playing nicely! Here is the only picture we got of the kids gathered in one place. They ate their dinner standing around the coffee table and the adults ate at the dining table with the babies (Griffin and Emma). We had a really fun time and look forward to doing it again...maybe when the weather is nicer and the kids can take their busy bodies outside (: No, really, it was fun to be around other families who were comfortable just having a casual dinner and letting the kids be kids!
