{Jumpin' Jungle Fun}

Ruth and I had fun going on a playdate to the Jumpin' Jungle with my friend Reina and her daughter Chloe a few days ago. It was sooo much fun to get some adult conversation and get to know Reina better while Ruth & Chloe played to their hearts content. Reina also brought her youngest, Jackson, and boy was he a hoot to watch wander around flashing his big smile at everyone he saw.
The girls wore themselves out and we went to Red Robin for lunch afterwards. The girls had a pizza, Chloe had apple slices with hers and Ruth, of course, had french fries with hers. Reina and I had BLTA Croissant, (a buttery croissant filled with sliced turkey breast, hickory-smoked bacon, sliced avocado, lettuce, tomatoes & mayo. Served with fresh melon). It was really yummy, it came with a choice of soup but I couldn't eat mine due to my pregnancy hormones and knowing it wouldn't set right once I smelled it.
The girls split a rootbeer float for dessert and then we went back to Reina's for some more play time. The girls played and played and played and really quietly too. Reina and I got to know one another better and it was nice to have a conversation with someone other then William. I didn't realize how much I miss having real conversations that don't involve mostly d&d...don't get me wrong I love talking with hubby but it's great to get out and talk to someone you don't live with 24/7.
Below are some out takes from the jumpin' jungle. Please don't judge me on how grainy the images are the ISO was set fairly high and I didn't use my flash, but these are just for me to put in a scrapbook so I don't mind. Enjoy!!
