a day at the park.

Since I work 3 days a week and Brandon works 3 days a week, we usually only have that remaining 1 day for all 3 of us to spend together.  Today, we ventured over to Raleigh and picked up some fresh squeezed orange-ade from the farmer's market and then went over to Pullen Park.  First of all, if you have never had the orange-ade from the farmer's market, you are missing out big time!  It's delicious.  They also do lemonade, limeade, and a blend of the 3.  The orange is my favorite.  They put orange, lemon, and lime slices in it and a couple of cherries....mmmm.  My mouth waters just thinking about it!  We picked some up and headed over to the park.  Pullen Park was just recently redone, and it's so nice now!  They have great walking paths around the lake, plenty of places to sit and watch the paddle boats, and the cute little train track that goes all around the park.  There's also an indoor carousel and a great playground.  We put Lucas in the stroller and started walking around the lake, looking for a good place to sit and relax (and so I could feed the little chunker.)  We watched the train and the ducks and geese.  It was such a lovely afternoon.

This is his "feed me NOW" face

Now he's a happy baby

It was a little bright, hard to keep our eyes open

We are trying to be intentional in hanging out as a family on our day together instead of just lounging around the house.  It's so fun getting out and showing Lucas the world, especially before it gets to be 100 degrees around here :)
