At the zoo
We had a free day today (technically yesterday, since it’s now after midnight), so our plan was to clean the apartment. But then we thought, you know, why clean when we could go to the zoo? That sounds like a much better way to spend a Saturday.

Fun among chaos
Today Namine had a playdate with her friend Norah and I had adult conversation her mom Amanda. We have been trying to go to the zoo for quite sometime, but the weather and the schedules just did not line up until day.

Daddy-daughter time
Jessica went out this evening for a girls’ night out, so Namine and I took advantage of the nice weather and went to the park.

Another picnic picture
I just wanted to post this. The folks at RVA posted this picture (among others) on their Facebook page — Namine with her new friends at the picnic.

Planning a birthday
Jessica and I were compiling a list of children, with Namine’s help, to invite to Namine’s upcoming birthday party.

One more day
As I sit here typing this out, I should be home. We should be home. We would have headed home from my aunt’s this evening, but for inclement weather. With the strong winds and rain — and threat of hail — we opted to stay the night, and head home tomorrow evening.

Playing balance games
Namine asked me this afternoon if we could play Mario Kart. Before that, though, we tried something new. We fired up the Wii Fit to try her on some balance games.

Standing up for herself
At her end of the year school picnic, Namine made some new friends — but then, that’s never been a problem for her. And I was proud to witness her sticking up for herself.

Playing on the Wii
There’s no better way to relax on a stormy day than to play games. We fired up the Wii, and introduced Namine to Wii Sports and Mario Kart.

Namine’s outdoor adventures
Today was a fantastic day. We’re fortunate enough to have been able to come up to my aunt’s for the weekend, and the weather was superb today. Namine and I had the chance to go for a walk, and more.

A walk to the park
Namine and I went to the park after I got home from work yesterday evening. The weather looked threatening, but it never rained. It was a nice warm evening to get out and go for a walk.

You can’t stop the playdate train
Namine’s friend Norah is her total opposite. Namine is content to sit in one spot for long periods of time. Norah, on the other hand, is constantly go go go — which is quite a switch for us.
