Jonah's Day with Aunt Ashley and Uncle Leon

After all the adult activity of yesterday, it was nice to have a day full of activities for Jonah.  His Aunt Ashley and Uncle Leon brought us all out for brunch, where the waitress came over with board books and a train whistle to entertain Jonah.  He was mesmerized!  Then we visited the children's area of High Park.  They had a little petting zoo, where Jonah met llamas, a wallaby and some chickens.  We sat on a low wooden crate, Mommy, Jonah, a chicken and a bunny.  All just staring at each other.  After trying to figure out what was sitting next to him, Jonah gently reached out to pet its feathers.  Cute!  Next we visited the large castle playground!  We did all the things parents do to try to make their kid have fun - dragging Jonah across rubber bridges, through tunnels or on the swing.  Jonah's favorites were watching the big kids, tic-tac-toe (he and Daddy tied) and throwing bark chips.






I can't give a full account of Jonah's afternoon and evening, but we hear that he had a wonderful time with his aunt and uncle after Mommy and Daddy left for the wedding.  They took walks in the courtyard and to the park, made pasta for dinner, and watched Madagascar 3!  It was so nice for them all to spend time together without Mommy in the way.  ;-)
