5:00 am is so productive

So here's a thought that arrived during one of the early morning feedings...

What if we did a monthly Saturday thing? Say, second Saturday of the month? We could pick an external, family-friendly venue (zoo, aquarium, park, beach, etc) and anyone who was interested would just join in. We took Caitlyn to the aquarium a couple weeks ago, and she seemed to appreciate some of the fish we could get close to. Seems like something that could be fun for older kids (Franny, Gia) or who are just older kids (you know who you are).

Not that this would replace the Wednesday thing. We still expect all those without Top Model committments to show up tonight.

Christina, I really like this idea. We've got Franny just about every other weekend, and after December Sarah shouldn't have to work all that many weekends. So I think we'd actually be able to make this happen. It'd be really nice to have an excuse to load the girls up and get over to the city on our day off. I think we're set to have Franny on the 2nd and 4th weekends, but the holidays have kind of turned me around, so I might have that wrong.

Funny you should mention the Aquarium. Went there a couple of weekends ago for the first time since highschool and enjoyed it. I like the idea of these kind of activities, especially with kids. More enjoyable when little ones around you are having fun. Plus I wont be the most childish one there.

Cool. Perhaps we can revisit the idea after New Year's. And perhaps folks want to contribute other locations/activities? Having only been here a year and a half, I'm not at all confident that I can be trusted to come up with a much longer list of venues...
