Lydia's Uncle Aaron and aunt Lyndee tended her on Friday evening while the rest of our family went to the zoo for "dreamnight". When Lydia was in the hospital for her transplant, Primary Children's gave us tickets for this fun evening. There was dinner, facepainting, kids zoo packets and mascots along with all the great animals to see. We got a flat tire on the way, but Brian was quick to remedy this and taught the kids about tire changing. He's a great teacher to them. We all had a great time at the zoo. It was kind of a trial run to see how Lydia would do with others. Brian's work has a Lagoon day coming up at the end of the month that we are looking forward to and we wanted to leave her with someone. She had been tended by both grandma's earlier in the week and did great, but she's used to them. She surprisingly did great with Aaron and Lyndee too. This means we can leave her more with others.
What a relief to get out and about and enjoy some family time :)! So glad she did well with some new people! Hopefully she will continue to do so, and you guys will be able to get out more this summer while she continues to heal up!
ReplyDeleteLove to you all!

Janene,
ReplyDeleteThat's so great to hear you got to do something fun with your big kids. I bet they loved the zoo. The face painting looks so cool. :) I can really tell your kids like to be together. That is the most wonderful thing!
I hope you guys get to go to Lagoon too. We are trying to go ourselves this summer. It is the best news to hear Lydia can be left with other family members too. I hope she keeps doing better and better all the time.
