"Best day of my life!"

Lately we have been trying to do at least one fun outing a week as a family. (Going hiking, walks on the beach, going for ice cream etc.) On Sunday Nate came home at 3pm and canceled all our plans for the evening and decided we were going places! He woke Zane up from his nap we grabbed snacks and off we went to the Game Farm! I had never been there before so i was kind of excited.:) Jordan on the other hand had been there with one of his aunts about a year ago and was not as excited as i had hoped. As we drove i told him "You may have been there before BUT you have never been there with Mommy and Daddy!" He grinned from ear to ear and then looked a little worried and said ' Oooh k.. it should be fun..." Jordan is our more cautious child and now that he has been with us for 8 years he knows that when mom and dad get together things can get crazy fun and sometimes more crazy than fun(for some people ;) And as we drove thru the Game Farm we did not disappoint. We drove thru seeing many awesome animals and feeding the peacocks along the way. As we neared the Buffalo field i heard a click come from Nates side of the car and i knew the "fun" just got turned up a notch! He had locked our windows in the rolled down position! You can guess what happened next. Man those things have bad breath!! The boys were laughing hysterically in the back as i tried to feed the nasty things as fast as possible to keep them from moving the Jeep with their very large neck. To my surprise once Jordan had read all the warning signs and cautioned his parents as to what horrible things could happen if we didn't do what they said he had a lot of fun. I wont tell you every thing we did because then you will think we are bad parents :) After our little excursion we went to IHOP for dinner. Right before what our family calls IHOP sickness set in (getting sick from eatting to much IHOP food:) Jordan looked up from his plate and said "Mom and Dad the was the best day of my life!" :) Later that night Nate and i were talking about how in our families when we were the children always doing crazy things and being told to be careful. (i learned from some of my other siblings:) We both thought about what would happen "if" ... and then would do the crazy thing no one else would do. So now we found each other... and they say opposites attract... Now that we are older we think a little harder before being too crazy but still wonder how our children will turn out. Jordan is already proof that you are who you are and even your crazy parents can't totally take that away. I love the way he is and he seems to be the voice of reason sometimes as well..right before joining in ;)
