it's a small world at the watering hole

For some reason yesterday was a hard day for me and jake.  Half way through he got bored/frustrated and his vocal chords let me know it.  When I laid down to sleep last night my mind was racing between jake's screeches and 3 intense episodes of the amazing race.
But today my day started out on a better note...literally haha when I found the following on my mirror. That's enough to start anyone's day on the right foot if you ask me.  

Also, Jake didn't start calling for me til 8 so I had time to work out/get ready for the day (it's amazing what a difference that makes).

 Then I decided that Jake and I need to have one activity a day that takes us out of the house whether it's playing on a blanket in the front yard or actually driving/walking somewhere-we just need to get out.  I may be a home body but Jake is not.  Once we're out and about and around other people he really doesn't fuss/be crabby-is just interested in what's going on around him and it's infinitely easier to watch him.  Weird (to me) but true.

So Jake and I went to the splash park again today.  He was more into it today but for a shorter time span.

As we were walking up to the splash pad I met some ladies from our ward-one of them even being my visiting teaching companion (small world) so that was fun.  Then I was trying to pick out a spot and after setting down my blanket I look up and who is five feet away?  Our cousins Trystan and Jeter again haha.  They were just leaving but it was cool to see them again.  Then Celia came with Eliza and we hung out for awhile.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised when I run into people I know in a small town on a hot day at the only splash pad :)
