Park Day and Date Night

I took Sister to the park on Friday. She usually can't get down at the park because she likes to eat the mulch or rocks. But at Mary Jo Peckham, there isn't anything for her to eat! She got to crawl around, and I think the park is her new wonderland. She climbed the structures, slid down the slides, and squealed with delight the entire time. I got so excited watching her, I sometimes would slide down right on top of her. It was magnificent (that's a fancy word for fun).

Friday night I got to have my date night with Mommy and Daddy. We started with shrimp with Nana and DD and Katie. Daddy taught me a new trick with oranges and lemons. Then, off we went to Katy Mills so I could spend all of the coins in my Tink bank. Mommy and Daddy said this month's date was a 'cheap' date, but I couldn't believe all the fun you can have with $15 in coins! I rode the carousel and the train, put a bunch of pennies down the well, and hung out at Bass Pro Shop. When my date was over, though, I had to tell DD, "This was so sad of a night." Some of the coin operated machines weren't working, and the little claw game was too hard to win, and the ice cream shop we tried to go to wasn't open. Mommy had a long talk with me after that about focusing on the good parts of life. I just call it like I see it.

PS - Kate's new tricks this week:
"Ooo, Ooo" (what a dog says - it really sounds sort of like a bark. A girl dog bark.)
Climbing down stairs
Biting friends (oh, right, that's an old trick. She's just honing those skills.)
