First Father's Day

What a great first Father's Day. Got woken up by Heidi and Levi and was presented with a card they had made together. Levi had done the decoration on the card by placing a big hand print on it, with a little help from mom, of course. We had breakfast and headed for the zoo. I haven't been to the zoo in quite a few years, so it was good to see a bunch of new stuff. I think Heidi will be blogging about that trip more tomorrow. Since we went before Levi's morning nap, he skipped it as we roamed around the zoo, there was plenty to keep him occupied. After the zoo, Levi got a short nap and then it was time to play. His new playroom (the dining room) is now off limits as it's crammed with new cabinets waiting to be installed in the kitchen remodel starting next weekend. Playing in the living room is a little more exciting since there's more to explore and get into trouble with, especially since he's pulling up on everything now. We had a good time though. The evening wound down with me getting to choose the pizza from Papa John's tonight (a big deal around this house), and then Levi watching some Baby Signing Time. All in all, a fun day, despite the rather poor weather.

No pictures of my Father's Day present, mainly because I've had it for a few weeks already, and it was raining for most of the day today. It was a nice new electric lawnmower. Our old gas mower didn't make it though the winter, so it was time for a new one. Since our yard is so small, we figured an electric one would do the trick, plus they're quiet, and I think Heidi might even use it!
