Mackenzie and I usually spend our time in and around the apartment although this week I made a goal to try and get out more and that we did. We have had so many fun little adventures together.
The first couple of days we spent going to Lake Sumter Landing, one of the two town squares in The Villages, FL. Our favorite place to hit was Barnes and Noble Bookstore. Mackenzie loves crawling in the kid's area and they had so much for her to do. Stuffed animals EVERYWHERE and books galore that she would not destroy. She spent her time playing, crawling and climbing and when it was stroller time she was not very thrilled. We have been celebrating Nathaniel's birthday month as well and he treated his self to a Robert Jordan book and is hoping he will be surprised with all the books he's missing for his birthday but we will see :)! We had dinner one night at TGIFriday's and it was yummy. Mackenzie is not the easiest to take out places anymore now that she has found her crawling and walking freedom. Sitting just is not fun for her unless she's being fed, then she is the happiest, haha. There is way too much for a little girl to explore and she is ready to go at all times! We splurged a tad and bought Mackenzie a toy that she LOVED at the children's store although now that we are home she seems afraid and not interested. It's a chuckle buddy monkey and rolls around on the floor laughing. We had a blast being able to spend time together!
Nathaniel had been scheduled to work after those two days so Mackenzie and I decided it would be fun to go to Clermont and see family and friends. Mackenzie has grown out of most of her clothing and it gave me a great reason to go shopping for her which I absolutely LOVE to do and probably could everyday. Amy joined us and we had a good time! Afterwards, Kenzie and I went to her Grandma's house to visit and kidnap Uncle Micah to bring back to our home for the Labor Day weekend. We spent yesterday back in Clermont to see Kenzie's Uncle Jacob and Uncle Caleb perform at Kelly's Brickhouse Pub and they were awesome! Mackenzie slept through the first set although the second set was so great that she could not stay asleep and since she would not let me cover her ears we had to leave. It was so much fun although today Mackenzie is such a sleepy girl. She has been a napping queen!
I love going out and showing Mackenzie the world and having her interact with people. She has an amazing time and is just the most fun person to be around. I love her and as silly as it may sound she is my best buddy! I love being her mommy, it is the most rewarding job! One of her little laughs or smiles could turn a bad day good and I sincerely mean it. Mackenzie Jordan is my world and life would definitely not be as wonderful and fun without her!
Our children can also be our little pals. I used to enjoy very much taking my kids to the mall, library and movies etc., of course they were a few years older than Mackenzie, but even though we are responsible for them, we can still enjoy them and their company.
