Today was such a lovely day. 71 degrees of lovely to be precise. After school I packed up the kids and headed out on another after school ambush.
First we went to Sonic to wet our whistles. We decided to depart from our usual flushie and try the Ocean Water. Drew had a hard time remembering what it was called, and eventually started calling it “Whale Water.” We will never be able to order from Sonic like civilized adults.
We went via direct to the park and got to work.
I set the timer for 10 minutes. Ready, set, PLAY!! When the timer beeps we pack up and head to the next park. We are lucky – there are dozens of parks where we live, most of them only blocks away! beep, beep, beep!
Rowan and I hung out by the swings watching flashes of Drew and Brinley run by. With the timer ticking away the kids ran around like crazy rabid chickens.
Group shot before we head to the next park. We haven’t left anyone behind yet.
Big sister Brinley wanted to take Rowan down the slide. No worries, I was right there ready to catch a falling baby.
Ah yes the disc of torture. Any adult looking at these next three pictures may feel a sudden and strong amount of nausea. Beware!
Brinley couldn’t spin Drew “fast enough,” so he figured out a way to self-propel.
Terminal velocity reached. Warning: Impact imminent. Eject!
Jealous Brinley. This was the theme of the whole trip…Brinley trying desperately to do anything and everything he was doing. And failing. Miserably. And tearfully.
Help! I’m tangled and I can’t get out!
I almost got a crack shot. Almost! Saved by the rope…
And there goes the sun. Lucky for us tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer, and there are still parks that we didn’t make it to today. Anyone game?
Looks like you guys had a great time! Those parks look awesome, lots of neat things to do. You are such a good mom, always doing such fun things with your kids!
Okay so I am not kidding… you are the CUTEST MOM ever. I so wish we had a day here that was in the 70s. I love, love the last picture. OH BUT all of them are cute.
Wow…your pictures are amazing!!!
What a cool mom! Looks like you guys had a blast…what a great idea!
Your kids are the funnest little things to watch! I love all your ideas. Yes I would love to get together while you are in town, that would be so fun! Call me or email me your number or something!
Such a fun idea! We’re going to have to try that again when the snow melts.
