steffen family fun day

Today the Steffen Family had a spontaneous "family fun day!" First, we went to the zoo. Since they are having a contest and I brought my camera, I got in for free. Both kiddos are under 3 so they were free too!! We only had to pay $3 for Brian. The elephants were the first animals that we saw... they were coming out for 10min for a snack just as we got there! Perfect!

After the zoo, we went to Chili's (with a gift card Brian got me a year ago) and it was HORRIBLE. The food was disgusting and the service was horrible. LONG story.... we won't be going there again any time soon.

Then we went to Wegman's and Carter rode in the cart for the first time! :) He loved it. And Parker did too. Parker was rubbing his arm and kissing him. Adorable.

Then we went to walmart to get spray paint for the shelves in the basement. Of course, we walked out with more than just that, but all much needed things. Clearly, Carter was exhausted.

and finally.... our Family picture of the day!! :)

we almost forgot!!!

carter walking! [sort of]

please ignore the crying. parker wanted to play with the ride-on carter already was walking with.... you'll see in the next video- they traded.
