We had one of those great weekends that started out with a little boo-boo, but turned out so fun and relaxing! Aiden is pulling up on everything now. And Saturday morning the tray table in the living room came tumbling over onto him. It formed a pretty big goose egg. You can see his boo-boo above didn't really upset him all that much. After a little crying he was happy and laughing at big brother again. After getting everyone settled down from our little tragedy Saturday morning, we went out for breakfast to IHOP. Scott loves him some pancakes or as Ryan calls them "panacakes." Ryan felt pretty special with his create-a-face panacake. I must say the blueberry syrup is pretty good. Anyone hungry? Then we went downtown to a historical place called the Peanut Depot. Its been around since 1907. It was great to go in and see them roasting the peanuts in big barrel like machines. As we were leaving a middle aged man drove up in a convertible (must be a mid-life thing) and chuckeled..."I use to come here with my dad about 40 years ago." Its fun to think that the boys will look back on days like today with fondness! That's why we love to say...makin' memories!

Paying for the best salted, roasted peanuts.

Just down the cobblestone street was a red train car that has been converted into a restaurant/club. We were there on a Saturday morning so it was not open, but it made for a good look-see. Then to finish off the morning we went to the Pepper Place Farmers' Market. We will definitely be going back.
