I think you're right that they just liked going out to do something special. I was telling Jennifer that sometime soon I'll have to take them to the zoo or the Children's Museum instead. I think the zoo has a fireplace in their Minnesota Trail exhibit, so that should work out well for Lyric. Yes, I should’ve mentioned that above: the kids had a great time.

That seems really high. I only "stumbled upon" this in that my wife has mentioned it to me in the past (this is why there are so many Jennifers from our age group, too). I think she first mentioned it when we were deciding what to name kid #1. We were both a little concerned that "Owen" was rising in popularity, but Jennifer pointed out that using a name from the top ten these days is not as bad as it used to be (1975 = 1 in 30 boys named Jason; 2005 = 1 in 500 boys named Zachary). Yikes! 1 in 30! That seems really high.

I think they just like having a special outing together. It's funny, I have at least one other photo of Lyric standing in a fire place for no discernible reason. I guess that's her thing....lol.

Your six Jasons illustration got me searching just how popular that name was when you were born. I found that about 1 in 30 boys were given the name "Jason" (in the US). That seemed a bit too high. I looked into it further and what I found is that it used to be popular to give your kid a popular name. I never knew that. Seems like the kind of thing you would have stumbled upon. Have you found that? Well, however you word it, it’s an interesting, and sometimes fun, phenomenon.
