Fun in the sun

We are having such wonderful weather here in Alexandria, and today we really took advantage of it. Bright and early this morning we threw the whole family in the car and went to the Shirlington dog park. Zion had a great time, and afterwards we went to the playground across the street so James could play. He is going up and down curbs without help. James is really getting to be an independent little guy!

Then this evening we went to Kingstowne for ice cream. I have been craving a really good ice cream cone for days, and boy was this ice cream worth it! James had no interest in the ice cream, but wanted to watch all the kids run around the courtyard. The weather was so nice and James was having such a great time, we grabbed some fried chicken and had dinner in the courtyard. James even fed himself some cajun rice. Then we all came home and James collapsed into bed. What a wonderful day!
