Lunch With Daddy

We had quite the adventure today! We went downtown to visit Daddy at his office and go out to lunch. Unfortunately, Brooke fell aleep in the car on the way down there :( I had to wake her up, which made her cry. Not a great start...

Once Brooke was in her "big girl" stroller, things were all good. We walked through a parking garage, rode in an elevator, walked down busy streets, walked into a busy building, went in another elevator ... and then saw her Daddy. All of the things to look at made Brooke forget that she had been rudely awoken from a little snooze.

Brooke wasnt too sure about Daddy's office at first. Everyone was staring at her and she felt a bit self-conscious. Then Daddy took her out of her stroller and let her check out the office ... now that was pretty cool! Despite the fact that there were 100's of computer screens, Brooke still managed to pick out the few televisions in the office. (She sure does have an eye for those things) Brooke gave a few fake smiles and a few genuine smiles, and was very polite to all of Daddy's coworkers. After the introductions it was off to lunch.

While we were ordering Brooke decided to taste a menu. Then she tried to taste the table. After all that fun, Brooke got to sit in a high-chair. She has been in one a few times before, but this time she held herself up very well. She did get irritated at the fact she couldnt see the television, but overall was quite happy. By the end of lunch Brooke had just about had it with all of the excitement. She decided to let the whole restaurant know. She had such an exciting time that she passed out as soon as she got back into the car and took a nice, long, nap.

What Was Brooke Excited About?
We had a few guesses as to what else Brooke was excited about. All of them were quite good...but here is the answer.

These are not Brooke's official "1st Shoes" ... she actually has a pair of Converse that were the first she owned. But, these are the first shoes she has worn! (The high-top Converse just didnt go with her outfit today).

The winner is...

This is also your prize! A special callout by Brooke ;)
