First, I just have to say THANK YOU to Maria for making the 9 hour drive to "the falls" to visit!!! We had such a great time! Luke had to work that weekend so us girls had the pleasure of entertaining little Jameson all by ourselves! haha
Friday evening, we took Maria downtown for dinner. It was an absolute gorgeous evening, so we were able to sit outside and enjoy some fresh air... the 4 of us :-) (well 4.5 at that time - Jackson was still in his nice warm, quiet, cozy little home) After dinner, Maria and I were able to get some "catch up" time once Jameson went to bed. Again, so great to have that time together!!!
Saturday, I talked Maria into braving the Children's museum with me! Honestly, it truly is just as fun for adults as it is kids. The weather was not-so-nice, so it was a perfect way to spend the day. Let me tell you, it was complete entertainment just watching Jameson. I think Maria had more than her share of laughs just from my child alone.
**Side note** Anyone that knows the Brookings, SD museum, knows there is the "oh so wonderful" water room. Oh yes, an entire room filled with water... no doors... and oh so eye catching to (almost) every child. You guessed it, Jameson (the fish that he is) is ALWAYS all about that room. I have learned to bring extra clothes with me because he HATES to wear the water aprons and naturally tends to splash himself soaked..
Ok, so on with my story.. "Splash himself soaked" was an understatement this trip... Yep, I am not joking. He actually climbed up on one of water tables and put his ENTIRE head under the little waterfall. No, I am NOT exaggerating one little bit... SOAKED... Not one area of his clothing was dry by the time we left the museum. Although EVERYONE was looking at my little man with a little weird smirk, he had SO much fun and I knew we had extra clothes so no big deal at all! We then headed across the street to my favorite little cafe for some delicious lunch! (dry clothes and all) :-)
This was only the beginning! One happy little boy!
Yes, that would also be the waterfall Jameson was putting his head under
That evening Maria and I, once again, had a little girl time! I took her on a little tour of Sioux Falls, we had our McDonalds run (no, no Diet coke this time... but YES to ice cream!) and then we headed down to see "the falls" (I mean you can't visit Sioux Falls and NOT see the falls!)
THANK YOU SO MUCH for visiting Maria! It meant the world to have you here and to get some girl time!! Love ya! xoxo
