Blind (play) Date

Saturday morning we went on a play-date with one of Sean's coworkers and his family. This was a "blind play date" for me.... Now, I am a pretty social person, and get along with MOST, but I still get a bit nervous meeting new people. Will they like me, will they talk (that one is frustrating), will our kids get along? The family is new to the area, and have not met many people yet. The wife works from home, and they have one son, Ryan, who is 2 (27 months). So, right in the middle of our two boys age. Both our boys were taller/bigger than Ryan...which we are getting use to. Both of our boys are off the charts in height for their age. I see sports scholarships in their future :)
So our morning went a little something like this...

Sean got up early and went fly fishing down by the river, came home to us still getting ready, and me not feeling so good. SO of course we were running late. Granted we were meeting them in their hood, but it wouldn't be a Rhea day if we were not at least 5 minutes late. Almost there, and Cooper needs to go number two....even later now.
We did eventually get to the park, and found our play-date. Such a nice couple, and an adorable little boy. The boys played on the play-scape for a while and we all got to have "grown up talk". Turned out we had a couple things in common :) Next up was kite flying in the field next to the park...this was our boys first time. Super fun. Followed up with lunch @ Panera Bread. Ryan, the little boy, has severe peanut allergies, so Cooper couldn't have his PBJ. ha ha. No peanut stuff could be on the table or near him. Believe it or not, Cooper did live with out his PBJ. 
Great morning.

Slide time ....weeee

Yes, time-out happens in the park. He looks thrilled. HA
