On the weekend I took Jacob to Fort Edmonton park, a old historic park we have here in the city. It starts in the 1800's and goes to the 1920's (I think), it's pretty neat and although Jacob isn't really interested in the history part of things he did enjoy the barn where lots of chickens and turkeys followed us everywhere. They also had pigs and horses that Jacob checked out and pet. We went on the trolley and train ride, both were big hits! Jacob wanted to keep going on the train but after two trips around the park I decided it was time to go. It was a good day, Jacob walked most of the way by himself, pushing the umbrella stroller with his bear in it and when he got tired he sat in the stroller! I didn't have to carry him once which is a huge surprise!? We should have stayed there and had lunch at the old hotel but instead we went to Mc'd's. After lunch we headed to St.Albert to visit my Dad in the hospital, he looked really good, surprisingly - the guy seriously amazes me every time I see him. I don't think I give him enough credit. So after that we headed home to pick up the dog and head to the track to spend the night with hubby.
Sunday morning we had a play date with the Moms group, we went to a lake in the city that was really pretty. All the kiddies seemed to have a good time and it was nice to see the Moms again. Hopefully we will be able to get together again soon. It seems like almost everyone in the Mom group has either already had or is having their second baby. And as much as I would like to try for a little girl I don't think hubby is ready for that step. Plus we have some other issues to work on first. It was a pretty good weekend, I will have to take Jacob back to Fort Edmonton again for more train rides before winter comes.
Oh, and I almost forgot.... I bought a bike trailer/ carrier for Jacob to ride in and we can go for bike rides now. So last night we assembled the trailer and hooked it up to my bike. He loved it, we just went for a quick ride first to see how he was and when we got back to the house he was asking to go again!! So off we went for another trip around the block and when we turned down our road he was screaming to go again! LOL Needless to say I think he likes it, which is great! Now I can get some exercise in and Jacob can enjoy a bike ride. I was a little nervous and scared at first but it all went ok. I still need to get myself a bike helmet and bike lock so we can go shopping and stuff. Maybe tonight I will go shopping, I have to buy 2 bday present too for Jacobs friends.
