James, Jennifer & Bailey's day off

On Friday, our daycare person was moving into a new home and she wasn't able to watch any kids so we both took the day off to do something fun with Bailey. Wouldn't you know it, I finally get James and myself lined up to take a day off together and he ends up sick. No worries, some rest and cough drops and he's back on track to getting better, too bad I ended up getting his cooties over the weekend so now I'm dealing with the cough & cold today.

At least for Bailey's sake I wasn't going to let a little cold spoil our day off. James needed some rest and he wasn't going to get it with a toddler in the house so I pack her up and we went off to Parkville, Mo. for a couple of hours. Parkville, Mo. is about 15-20 minutes north of where we live and is located right along the Missouri river. It has a historic downtown area that floods anytime the river is up and is a tourist trap full of antique shops and specialty shops. Did I mention something about the downtown area being all up hill?? Needless to say I got a taste of how out of shape I was with a 32 pound toddler in a cheap umbrella stroller. Since this trip was a spur-of-the-moment type of thing, I forgot my camera. So here is my rendition of my trip.
I didn't say it was a good rendition or even accurate but it looks pretty good to me. Notice all the dots around me, that's showing how stupid I was for wearing a heavy coat in warm weather while doing an aerobic workout.

Since James was sick and couldn't join in all the fun of heavy breathing up a hill while your child is making fun of you, we picked up a special treat for him.
3 pieces of chocolate pecan fudge and 3 pieces of peanut butter & chocolate fudge. Mmmmmm..... Nothing helps fight a cold better than chocolate.
