Thrilling Thursday @ Whole Foods

Our Thrilling Thursday starts with swim lessons for William. William has been taking lessons since he was 6 months old. He is a great little swimmer. William is turning into such a BIG boy! He likes to dress himself these days. He usually asks "Mommy, does this match?" However, today he did not ask. If you look carefully, he is wearing his undershirt OVER his ruby, (just like Daddy), swim suit, dark brown socks and crocks. He was proud of his dressing. Wish I had a better picture to show it off but he is 3 and does not like having his picture taken.

Getting ready to swim back to the edge of the pool- about 15 feet.

Playgroup Outing

It was our week to host, so I scheduled a tour of Whole Foods.

What a FUN tour it was! They take you around the store

and offer samples as you go. I was impressed that 7 toddlers stayed engaged,

asked questions and were so well mannered. If you are looking for an activity

to do with a group of children I TOTALLY recommend this.

They even offer "workshop" classes for kids and a minimal cost.

(cupcake/cookie decorating, pizza making, etc)

Waiting for our friends to arrive-

fun elephants and rocks to climb on

Samples of pineapple and strawberries- YUMMY

The fish counter -William and Sara were really into the fish.

However, Alexander and Jack were scared of them.

HUGE Cod

Pizza Workshop

After our tour which lasted about an hour, we headed to the culinary center

to create our masterpieces of pizza. I was so impressed

with the center, pizza topping choices, and the staff.

Look at all the cheese!

Olives! Ryan and I are not fans of olives.

William loves olives on his pizza or on his fingers.

YUMMY! Pizza

The pizzas were delicious. We think William had an allergic

reaction to the pizza sauce. He broke out in a mild case of

hives shortly after lunch. We had left over pizza for dinner and by

bedtime he was covered in hives from head to toe. :( He was very

uncomfortable, super itchy and up well past 10:00.
Overall, a VERY fun and action packed day!
