Yesterday Dillon and Nana ventured off to the zoo again. They were able to complete more than half of it...so now Dillon has seen about 3/4 of the animals. He is looking forward to Luca's upcoming visit so he can show his brother all the animals. It is so interesting the allure the animals have on the adolescent boy....it brings out his innocence and pure curiosity....I love that!! I stayed behind and enjoyed some much needed "alone time." I didn't do anything particularly exciting but having the space to just do my own thing for a few hours was lovely.
Today we all went to a very nice Italian place for lunch. It was delicious. Dillon had his usual.....Caesar salad and calamari. He has not been big on sweets lately but the creme brulee was calling his name, so he had that as well. We had a good time.
Then it was off to IKEA. I have never been in an IKEA store. All I can say is "Wow!!"
On the drive home we swung by the Cherry Creek State Park, which is a little lake just off the highway. We found the boat ramp and Dillon ventured out onto the ice to inspect a fish that looked like it had been frozen in mid-jump. There were quite a few fishermen out in the middle of the lake. Who knew there was ice fishing in the middle of this metropolitan area.
Dillon has had a great day. His legs were sore/tired walking through the store after his long walking trip at the zoo yesterday. He is eating and drinking well, only a couple of belly bumps.
Nana is leaving tomorrow. It has been great to have some new energy and added entertainment for Dillon.
Next visitors: Luca is flying in on Thursday and Sean us driving up Friday.
So glad your mom could come to give you a much deserved break. Happy to hear Dillon is getting stronger with the walking around the zoo too. Walking around a zoo is exhausting at any age I think!~ marilyn
