Play dates & Dinner dates

Emma and I met two of my friends and their girls at the local park/zoo for a play date yesterday. We were just there in June for Father's Day and she was not sure about this playground. Yesterday, she did it all by herself. She even climbed to the top of the big one on her own. She is still not sure about the slide, so I had to climb up and get her. :) But other than that, she had a blast!!

She enjoyed crawling on this swaying bridge. She was not sure about walking over it but she was determined to get across it one way or the other.

 She LOVED this swing!! She sat in this swing while I swung her for probably 10-15 minutes.

Then we all went out to eat. That can be tricky with four girls aged 3 and under!! But we made sure to pick a place that had an outdoor patio area. Yes, I took the knife from her and told her to sit down. :) I promise it was not even sharp!!

 Tonight, Scott and I went on a date since my mom has Emma for the night. We have not been on a date in awhile. We normally go to the movies when my mom has her, but we wanted to do something different. We drove about 45 minutes to Jonah's fish & grits. We had heard awesome things about it and wanted to try it out.

It is such a cute restaurant!! It is Christian based & very family friendly. They are closed on Sundays and do not serve alcohol.

Scott got grilled grouper with mashed potatoes and white cheddar cheese grits. Next time he said he was going to get a double order of grits. They were AMAZING!!!

I got their signature dish, shrimp and grits. It would be an understatement to say it was awesome. It was one of the best meals I have ever tasted. 

Then we shared a slice of peanut butter pie. After we left, we walked around Thomasville's downtown which was so nice. Then we somehow ended up at Verizon (Scott knew what he was doing :)) so we could order him an i-phone 5. 

Mom sent me several pictures of Emma from the night. Here is one of this afternoon when they went to a friends house. She has been taking this doll and wolf everywhere she goes for the past several weeks. Now she has added in a dog that she spotted at my moms house the other day.

Here she is playing with my mom about 5 minutes before she crashed for the night.

We enjoyed our play date yesterday and our date tonight. We will be ready to see Emma bug tomorrow!!
