This week, after the Scottish Festival, I had a rough time at work. There is nothing that throws the stress level into overdrive quite like a Medicare audit. Tuesday morning, I was home with Aiden working when a co-worker called to tell me that the Federal Auditors were there and needed to talk to the Administrator. (ME). Now, every company knows that they are coming... anytime without notice, but it is a horrible feeling when they do show up.
It was a two day audit and it ended fine, but they were long, long days full of stress and anxiety. Long 12 hour days away from my man make me crazy. So, this weekend, we unplugged from work and played. HARD. We did things that we have annual memberships for, so the entire weekend (without fuel) was about $4. We packed our own lunches and enjoyed each other. It was lovely.
Friday, we went swimming at Clearfield Aquatic Center. Sorry, when I am alone with Aiden and there is water involved, I don't take many pics. The water there is freezing and he can only last about 45 minutes before he is too cold to do much more, but he loves water and loves to splash.
Saturday morning, we went to the zoo. Aiden is at the age where he LOVES the zoo. It was cool enough and they have added the animatronic dinosaurs that are FREAKY!
We started by taking the Zoofari train (that we have never, ever taken) because we got there just as they opened and there was no line.
Aiden loves his trains. LOVES his trains.
These dinosaurs were really lifelike and loud. And scary. Aiden didn't seem to care, though. He loved them once I pointed and we said "Wow! Cool! Hooray!" Then he didn't think they were scary.
This was a lifesized T-Rex that moves like he is ready to take off your head. All the kids around were screaming and crying. Aiden loved it. He walked up to the fence and where he yelled "ROAR!" It was awesome.
Aiden crashed after the zoo. So, we rested and then went to Cherry Hill all afternoon. Poor bug has no body fat, so it is hard to keep him warm when we go swimming. He loves it and hopefully through the summer we can go more. (Once again, no pics. Aiden was in water, after all). After swimming, we sat in the warm car and shared a Dairy Queen waffle cone. Then booked it home in time to have a barbeque with Uncle Chris.
We may not have a lot of money, but we do have a lot of fun.
