I went on the first day (during $2 admission, hurray!) with just the kids, which was actually really fun and relaxing. It wasn't too busy yet even though it was a beautiful day and since it was just me I was able to visit the exact shops I wanted to without feeling like I was inconveniencing/boring anyone else (other than maybe Riggs, ha).
We next Friday with Sarah, Lyla and Sarah's mom Vivian. It was so much fun and such a huge help to have a grandma along! Vivian was so sweet, even changing Raina's diaper when my hands were full with Riggs. Thank you Vivian!!
I think this was the best hour and half of our day: all three of them asleep at the SAME TIME
Steve and I went with the kids Saturday after he got off work and we watched the motocross and ate dinner there. It was really fun but I was expecting Riggs to fall asleep in the stoller and he never did. So that was a little tricky. But it was still fun to be out and about and it was soo nice to walk around in the dark just talking with Steve (it doesn't really get dark in the summer here, unless you stay up until 2am and even this there's still a fair amount of light).
Then the next Friday Steve and I went with just Raina while Grandma Dotti (Steve's mom) watched Riggs. THAT was fun. Even though we missed our Riggy, it was nice to have a little bit of a break from his never-ending commentary (I swear, the kid never. stops. talking).
