Sun, Sand, and Slide Licker

I still feel ill from the medication they have me on, but I didn't want to let it slow me down so after Noah went home I took the kids to the park to play (and on a selfish note I had library books past due so we had to go anyway). It was a very pleasant surprise to see the big kid section of the park completed so there is something for everyone now. Evelyn has a gated area where everything is close to the ground, and just outside the gate everything is bigger and filled with ladders and fake rocks for the bigger kids to be able to let their wild side out. With the new structure the kids were having so much fun so we stayed longer than I planed and then had to rush through the store to get the ingredients for chinese chicken salad for dinner. Totally worth it.

Playing together with thd sand to make a "really big pile"

Catching Isaac not trying to be in the

picture gets the best pictures of him. He kept 

climbing in and out of the bars near the bridge. 

He thought it was great fun, Evelyn found it scary 

every time the bridge would shimmy and shake 

when he jumped on it.

She may look cute,
 but she's actually giving orders.

Isaac and Alex were running all over playing hide and seek, tag, and whatever else came to mind. It was great to see them getting along so wonderfully (no fighting!).



Evelyn took to slide licking (I was NOT happy about that) and would run circles around the lady bug slide; up the steps, down the slide, and back again (with a short pause at the top of the steps to lick the graffiti).

Having come down the tree trunk slide
she decided it was time to go back up... the wrong way.
