ThE PaRk!

Yesterday we were able to spend some quality time with our cousins, Keaton and Karlie. My sister, Marnie, had called saying she had found a fun park with a huge hill to ice block down and a skate park for scooters. So we packed a picnic and headed out. Once we finally found it, the hill wasn't nearly as steep as she remembered, and the skate park was full of teenagers, but we had a great time anyway. After all the playing we did, the kids needed some cooling off, so they used each other as sprinklers. I know laughing at this was encouraging it, but it was just so funny to see all the water come out from everyone's missing teeth!
It turned out to be a good thing that the hill wasn't very steep. Even with such little bums, it was hard to stay on the block of ice and a pain to push up the hill. So we were done with that part shortly after Marnie and I pooped out of hauling the ice up the hill. The kids found that if they had to push it up themselves, the ride wasn't that much fun.

So, we moved on to scooter riding. We didn't dare let them into the skate park, especially since the cops showed up, so they made their own skate park on the hill instead and had a blast!


We did head over to the playground for a little bit while Marnie and I packed up to go. After several hours of playing hard, I'm pretty sure the kids would sleep great.

And to top it all off...Paige crossed the monkey bars by herself for the very first time!
