David went ahead and led everyone out of the zoo and on the path towards the Diner. It was a quiet walk, though every moment or so he would glance back to see what Brooklyn was up to with the stroller, chuckling every now and then. Brooklyn continued pushing, practically leaning her whole body on the stroller in order for it to move. "Yeah! Cause I strong!" she puffed, pushing the stroller harder causing it to roll faster than before nearly running over her father's heals. "Whoa, there, Brooky! Watch where you're pushing, now." he chuckled, jumping to the side slightly, letting the stroller roll next to him.

Naomi giggled lightly, shaking her head when Brooklyn began to push the stroller faster. "Woah Bwooky, woah!" Arielle mimicked David, giggling and clapping her hands."Woah!!" Naomi shook her head, even Matthew was gurgling from his seat. "These are a of energetic kids."

David laughed along when the other two joined in, nodding his head in agreement to Naomi. "Seems so, doesn't it? Max doesn't know what he's missing!" he laughed out, bouncing the giggling Arielle as they walked.

"Oh I think he does know." Naomi said, shaking her head lightly. She wondered how her husband was doing, considering she hadn't talked to him since the morning. She figured he was super busy though. "It's like this back home too, except not with a third party." She said, gesturing to Brooklyn. "Especially Arielle, bouncing off the walls. She keeps us pretty busy." Naomi loved it though, and wouldn't trade her life for the world.

"I see." David nodded, fidgeting with the bouncing red-head in his arms still. "Yeah, Brooklyn only seems to get hyped up whenever she's either with her cousins or her playmates at daycare. So I've heard anyway." he chuckled, switching Arielle from one side to the other, finally deciding that maybe she would do better walking to get out her energy. He stopped momentarily to set her down on her feet in between himself and her mother and continued walking.

Arielle, now released, bounced slightly ahead, giggling and spinning around forgetting about hurting her knee. "Ari, come back here babygirl." Naomi called when she got a bit too far ahead. Arielle came running back to her mommy, giggling and wedging herself between Naomi and the stroller, grabbing onto the back next to Brooklyn. "I think they have a secret society going on. See who can drive mommy or daddy crazy first."

David came close to grabbing Arielle again once she ran ahead, but figured Naomi had it this time and just smiled and watched. "Well, we'll see who wins it later then, huh?" he laughed, watching both the girls push the stroller with the already giddy Matthew in it. Soon enough, they finally made it to the Diner. David hopped ahead of the gang to open the door for them all before entering behind, following them to a table after grabbing a high chair and a booster seat.

"I would rather not." Naomi shook her head, laughing as well. Ari followed behind her mommy happily, holding out her arms in order to be put in the high chair. Naomi slid into the booth, pushing Matthew next to her. She sighed lightly, waiting for a waiter to bring over a menu for them.

David laughed along with Naomi, while getting Brooklyn settled in her seat next to him. Within a minute later then, one of the waiters came over with the menus, handing the girls the kiddie menus and crayons. "Brooklyn, make sure to actually see what you want first, before diving into the coloring, okay?" David scolded, noticing Brooklyn already grabbing a blue crayon. "I know what I want alweady, daddy." she responded quickly, continuing to color the animals on her page. "Oh, yeah? What's that?" "Fench fies! And, um...chicken!!" David nodded with a small chuckle and returned to his own menu.

Arielle had begun to scribble over her kiddy menu when Brooklyn's declaration of what she wanted caught her attention. "Ch'ken!! Awi want ch'ken too!" Arielle piped from her seat, looking between her mommy and David. Naomi laughed lightly, "Hmm, then I'll order a chicken meal with a medium fry." She wasn't going to eat the whole thing, and since Ari wanted chicken she would just share with her. "And a small chocolate milk and water for me."

"And she'll also have a chicken meal with fries a small chocolate milk. And I'll have...." David looked back at his menu, making a quick decision before looking up at the waiter again, "A double-double with fries and a Cola." he finished, letting the waiter finish writing down all the orders before bouncing off into the kitchen. He looked over at Brooklyn who was busily scribbling away on her sheet, and then Arielle doing just the same. "Well, we seem to have quite the artists here, don't we?" he chuckled.

"It would seem so." Naomi agreed, looking over at her niece and daughter. She turned to check on Matthew just as he was starting to wake up, reaching over to brush at his cheek gently. "Look who decided nap time was over?" She cooed, smiling when he wrapped his hand around her finger. "Wookit!" Ari announced then, pointing to the blue scribble on her page. "Very good baby girl." Arielle beamed at that, going back to her "drawing."

Brooklyn leaned over to glance at Arielle's drawing as well, and pointing to her own drawing next, shouting, "I drew a butterfwy!" she squeaked, holding up her drawing of three blue circles smashed together. "That's awesome, Brooky." David praised his daughter, returning his own gaze onto Matthew who had just woken up. "Oh, well, hey there little dude. You woke up just in time. Lunch is almost ready." he cooed with Naomi, leaning on his arms over the table to get a bit closer to the baby.

"Bu'fwy~" Ari giggled, looking at her cousin's drawing. She looked back at her own, pouting a bit. "Awi want bu'fwy." Grabbing her paper she held it out to her cousin. "Bu'fwy?" Naomi shook her head, turning her attention back to Matthew, who started whining a bit. "Are you ready for your lunch?" She asked, reaching in the diaper bag for the bottle she'd made before they left. Taking off the top, she stuck it in his mouth, grateful that he knew how to hold his own bottle now.
