A Visit to the Park

We had a warm spell a couple of weeks ago and I took the boys to the park.  They were so excited you would have thought we’d just pulled up to Disneyland!

Rusty just ran from place to place.  Our park is pretty safe for my 2 year old, but since he doesn’t realize he’s smaller than his brothers, he gets a bit too close to the fireman pole and the steep slide for my tastes!  Bucket swings – bucket swings are good!

Tommy thought it was fun swinging next to Rusty.  One would start giggling and then the other would start and then it was my turn.  Oh, how these boys make my day!

While I was busy with the babies on the bucket swings, Ricky and Billy were being spies.  There was a man at the park with a metal detector and the boys were sneaking around following him.  Billy told me they were going to swipe his treasure when he found it.  That would make you pirates, son, not spies.  The man didn’t seem to mind the boys – they weren’t very good at sneaking!

The boys were just happy to be at the park.  They just kept smiling.  Such a simple thing, like going to the park, had made their whole day!

I guess I’ll be adding park visits to our list of things to do this summer!
