Aidan's first playground adventure!

The last 2 weeks have been slightly trying.

Ryan is on a 4 week night-float rotation which means he is working from 5pm-8am or so.

It's almost as if Aidan knows this and his behavior has been testing me quite a few of the nights that Ry isn't home (he's actually home Fri and Sat nights, and Aidan is always an angel those nights)

This weekend was made worse when Ry had to go to Pittsburgh Friday to present at a conference. So before he left the last time we saw him was real quick on Thurs afternoon.

Great opportunity and honor for him, but lonely weekend for us.

Soo...Michele to the rescue! She helped save my sanity by asking Aidan and I to join her and her boys and her Mom at a local park Saturday afternoon that has a new AMAZING playground in Alllentown.

This place was huge, and of course packed, since it was 60 degrees out on a Saturday.

The first thing the Big Boys were drawn to was the giant net of spiderweb ropes. Spidermen or Monkeys? You decide.

And of course poor Baby Aidan was too little to play in the web, but that didn't stop him from trying!

Aidan jumped right into a big kids game where these buttons lit up and you had to hit them while they were lit up to score.

All of these kids (Wells is in red) were scrambling around in the circle trying to hit all the buttons, and at one point Aidan thought the point of the game was to hit all the other kids, which had Me and Michele laughing before I corrected him....

He wasn't intimidated one bit as he was trampled by the older kids.

It turns out that our buddy Maddox is quite the rock-climber!!

Our day was made even better when Ryan managed to get home over 2 hours ahead of schedule! We ordered Chinese and watched some movies with Aidan and had a great night!

When he got home Aidan had some fun with Daddy's wardrobe:
