Mechlenburgs 15th anniversary, Pilgrim Chapel and more independent play

Saturday evening John, Paula, Audrey and I went to dinner at Mechlenburg's ... it was the restaurant's 15th anniversary.  The weather was perfect and they had live music which was wonderful!
Miss A looks really bored in this picture or possibly wondering why her mama is taking another picture.  Anyhow she did have fun this evening. 
Mary, one of the owners daughters, entertained Audrey and A loved the attention.

Walking up to get a closer look at the musicians, Eugene Goss and Billy Larkin whose band name is Triage.  I can't believe this was my first time to hear them because they are amazing.


Sunday was Children's Hour and Miss A's first time to "listen" to the story.  This week Lily M gave the Children story.

Afterwards A went downstairs with the rest of the kids.  Because the Milar family is in town visiting from India Audrey is not the youngest.  Evan Milar is 7 months old.

Monday we went to the Zoo.  Audrey touched a python and a boa constrictor.  She also listened to an elephant keeper talk as well as observing up close a Barn Owl and red tail Hawk.  We were also lucky enough to run into a Manatee keeper who gave us some background information on these animals.  Two of the 3 manatees will probably be re-introduced to the wild.  Of the 3 they have, 1 was severely injured in a boat accident, 1 was abandoned in the wild and the last one is seriously overweight and pretty old too.

Tuesday we went to a Help Me Grow webinar at the Children's Home.   The title was "Everyday Experiences and the Young Brain".  It was interesting and information confirmed much of what Children's Hospital classes teach.  That afternoon we went to our neighborhood pool where the neighbor girls again made up stories and songs to entertain Audrey. 

Wednesday we went to Miss Kelly's Movers and Shakers class and Thursday morning was Miss Meghan's Music class.  At both classes Audrey played and interacted more independently than in the past.
