Memorial Day Weekend 2013

 
The weekend started off with a trip to the zoo. It was completely packed, with lines out to the street. I was grateful we have a membership and moved over to that line (much shorter, faster). We packed a lunch, enjoyed the animals, and had a great "family bonding experience". It was kind of nice sitting at the picnic tables, in the shade, and watching them in the play area. I'm sure it won't be much longer before they out grow this part of their lives. It was nice to sit back and just "be".
 

 

Here is an aspect of our weekend I was most happy with! We tried fajitas (made at home with Spanish Rice) and I think it was a "score"! ~*Mmm*~


With the sprinkles (slight rain) on Memorial Day, I took out the Smore Set...

 

We had another "First"... COMIC BOOKS!!!
 
We've been to a few stores, which call themselves comic books stores than just have figurines and trading cards. I think I have found our "fave spot" (or "sweet spot") when it comes to actual comic books!!! ~*Score*~
 
 
This place is absolutely amazing, whether you are looking for a specific item, or simply want the nostalgia of "Big Bang Theory". Personally, I collected comic books as a teenager, played RPG (still do virtual RPGing), and I would have popped a blood vessel if I didn't have perfect grades. However, comic books in a boy's life are a natural transition. Today kicked off their "firsts" in their soon to be collections...
 
I loved watching them devour the "first" of their collections in the car ride home. They neatly tucked them into their "special boxes" (reserved for prized things, and private from each other). I think I am going to treasure and appreciate this round of parenting.
