I like to get a little something for everyone on Valentine's Day but like to keep it simple. I got everyone a little tin filled with candy and a small toy. Tyson's tin had sour gummy worms it said "Hooked on You" with a big bubble wand. Eliza got Reeses Pieces candy that said "Love you to Pieces" also with a bubble wand. Megan got crackers and a ball. Mike got Cinnamon Bears that said "For my 'Beary' Hot Valentine".
We wanted to do something fun this day with the kids so when Chris and Lauree called and asked if we wanted to either come with them to the Monster Truck Ralley or send Ty with them we took them up on it. We decided to just send Ty with them since we thought he would have a lot of fun.
We took Eliza and Megan to the zoo and it was such a beautiful day to walk around and see the animals. She made a good choice by coming with us to the zoo instead to see the Monster trucks. She really had a lot of fun, especially to have Dad and Mom all to herself (well except for Megan). I was a little disappointed that we weren't able to see the giraffe's though.
Eliza wanted to the see the monkeys first. They were her favorite...with the sea otters coming in at a close second. This monkey was right up next to the glass and that kinda freaked Eliza out because she thought he could get her. It took a lot of convincing but she finally got close to the monkey. She thought it was hilarious to see the monkeys/gorillas eating cardboard and doing somersaults. I think the monkeys are my favorite too.
That night Chris and Lauree volunteered to watch our kids and put them to bed while we went out to dinner. We found a cute little Thai food restaurant that was not too busy and quite romantic. A wonderful Valentine's Day.
