Since Marc began working at Honda, he has every Thursday off--not Fridays and not Saturdays... (since those are the biggest selling days). But because it is the middle of the week and it doesn't seem like a day off, we usually don't use the day to our advantage. However, with the summer coming to a close and knowing that the weather will eventually get colder. We took full advantage of this past Thursday.
Marc, started off te day mowing the lawn (he usual Thursday chore) and then we (Marc, Me, and Rachael) took Jackson to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point. I have been wanting to take Jackson there for a long time. Jackson loves animals and just seems mesmerized by them when they are around. He was fine with the small cute little goats that make small little sounds, then he approached a large goat, he was smiling and kicking and suddenly it let out the loudest noise I have ever heard, about six inches away from Jackson's face. He crumbled to the ground and started screaming! He tried to climb up Marc as fast as he could! It was so sad. He did enjoy the other animals though, chickens, pigs, horses, and ducks. He also went on a ride on a pony and seemed to enjoy that too. It turned out the be a fun outing.
Then when we got home we went swimming. Which was also a lot of fun. We laid Jackson down for a nap and then got a little more relaxing afternoon out by the pool.
Marc finished up the evening night swimming with Craig, Rachael, and my Dad...too bad I didn't get any pictures. But they seemed to have fun playing basketball, racing, and challenging each other to other things. I guess a marathon day of all the fun things we should've been doing on his day's off might make up for some of the lost time...maybe?!
