Tonight on the way home....from a fun packed day Adeline said "This was a fun day" about 8 or 9 times. Granted we just got the kids in bed... literally - don't judge me :)
We started out the day by making pancakes. Though honestly it was the least amount of help Adeline has ever been, she was too busy cooking in her kitchen. Then we were off to the Library to get books (Jill just taught me about reserving them online – really cool). Adeline loves them. She choose to go there first over our next stop, which was the Butterfly garden. We went home and grabbed Esther (after a nap she requested at 9:30am - she was the fussiest in a long while and was begging for an early nap, which worked perfectly). After I had the 2 girls for the butterflies we headed to Jarrod Reed and Megan Renfrew's wedding. Where Adeline got to see many princesses. She questioned why would they have on such pretty dresses and not twirl around in them. Crazy! We will have to look into that one. We even got to peek into their special Limousine. Then we headed home for a nap (I got to eat popcorn and read a good book, while Bryan installed a motion light out back). After that was some fun around the house, shoes, shoes, shoes, baby dolls taking naps, and reading the new library books. Then we met up with a sweet family with 3 precious girls for dinner at Bentos. The big agenda for the night that we had been talking about for days was going to see the bats on the UF campus. It was a thrill. So many. And thankfully not as stinky as we have experienced before. Then to be truly adventurous we went over to Lake Alice and of course we saw an alligator. Next was a trip to the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Adeline showed off her gator chomp and knowledge of Timmy Tebow. So much fun!!! Now off to bed! Thanks to so many for a great weekend and we are only half way done. Praise God!!!

Wow! That does sounds like a fun day! You definitely packed it full, I'm with Essie, I would have needed an extra nap too!
How did you do so much in one day??? I like the part about not twirling in dresses.
Great post. You got some good pictures of the bats... and the gator eye. :-) Thanks for including us in your fun day!
