The Telltale Signs of a Great Day

So, what are the telltale signs of a great day? Well, sadly, a great day doesn't involve taking pictures or videos - we were FAR too busy for that!

• We had breakfast at Cracker Barrell with Mimi (Geoff's mom) this morning;
• Claire and mommy took a wonderfully long morning nap;
• We went to monkey park where Claire played in the creek, climbed through some tunnels back and forth to mom and dad, swang, and tried the slide a few times;
• We had a fresh fruit salad for lunch (Claire really liked the grapes - cut up of course);
• All of us took a good afternoon nap;
• We played outside in the backyard - to include Claire checking out the new playset (still not fully assembled), playing on the slide which was flat on the ground but still loads of fun, and ending up so filthy that mom stripped her naked and put her in her little pool (she LOVED playing with the waterhose);
• We had a yummy roast dinner, courtesy of Geoff, and found that Claire is really getting to the point where she doesn't want to eat unless she gets to use her fork;
• We played outside some more - running around chasing the dogs and saying hello to PawPawMike from next door;
• Claire had a really thorough bath after getting filthy from all the outside time;
• And she's now sound asleep.

What a great family fun day!
