If we have anything planned in the morning time, it is hard for me to muster the energy to go back home after dropping Brian off at work, only to have to pack the kids up again and get them out the door again an hour after we get home. So, that explains why we have shown up at some parks recently at 8:15 am. Beat all the other kids there by a good half hour ;)
After spending a beautiful morning running around Sertoma Park and its many playgrounds, we headed to the library for a puppet show based on Peter Rabbit. David was laughing throughout the performance and he seemed to enjoy it so I was surprised when he said he didn't think it was that funny. I said, "Really? Because I kept seeing you laugh and laugh." He said, "Ya, I didn't think it was funny, I was just laughing because the other kids were laughing." And, David, if the other kids jumped off a cliff, would you too? ;)
Post-nap, we headed to Arrowhead Park. No playground action, but rather hiking trails and waterfowl. We had some close encounters with ducks, geese (and goslings) along the way, and many close enocounters with said birds' "doo doo" as David called it. We played for an hour in this clearing that David called "a secret place," and we all thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful June day.
Ahhhh.....playing...nature...and your sons! Fun! fun!! fun!!!
