Panera & Park

Now that's a good combination! I decided to spread out my remaining vacation and just take a day each week until the end of the year hanging out with my little buddies. Today I went with Carson on his Preschool field trip to Panera Bread. He was a little more shy than I'm used to seeing around the house, but dug right in when it came time to ice his Cinnamon Roll.



I think because I'm "the dad", the other Preschool moms and teachers think I'm mentally handicapped ;-) They used their 3-year-old verbage when communicating with me as if I had no clue what I was doing. I know they were trying to be helpful, though, so no offense taken... sometimes I act like a 3-year-old so I probably deserve it!

After dropping Carson back off at preschool and eating lunch with my girls (mmm...Panera Bread - sorry for making your mouth water Danielle), I sent Alisha off for some time to herself. She went to find herself some new running shoes since she burned holes in her old ones... MAN, is she smokin' HOT...er, uh... fast.

With mom gone, Hailey and I snuck off to the park. Here are some cute pictures of my little pumpkin.

I never knew a leaf and a bunch of holes could be so entertaining

"Not so tough from way down there, are you daddy?"



"This looks like a good place to stop and rest"



Where is Carson when you need a boost?



"Can somebody fix my headwrap so I don't look like an elf?"




"Ah ha! You won't get away this time Mr. Ant"



"Higher, higher!"


"He he he... Carson would be so mad if he could see me right now"


Everything is a stroller to this chic.
I have a feeling Santa Clause did a great job picking out her present this year ;-)

We eventually got too hot and had to head home for a nap (again, sorry Danielle - it is probably somewhere around 80 below zero where you are and here I am talking about it getting too warm in November).

We ended with a little Dinner & Movie Night with some good friends (Thanks Erin & Jason) to top off a great day... what more could a guy ask for?

That cinnamon roll looks so good. I am glad you got to go and hang out with Carson for his field trip.
Hailey looks so cute at the park and it looks like she is having a great time with daddy.

How fun!!!! Isn't it fun to take a day now and then and see life through the eyes of young children. I love reading your posts and miss seeing you guys in person.

Yes, Bridger my mouth is watering. Oh how I miss Panera. Someone needs to get on the ball and buy the franchise for Fairbanks. Go there and eat another sandwich for me please. No I don't envy you being hot. It was a nice 18 degrees to day. Not too bad, you don't need a hat, gloves or to zip up your coat. I see my sister is teaching you how to rub in the cold weather - just wait until July when I call and tell you that it is a lovely 65-70 degrees with little humidity.
