Like most kids my kids absolutely love the park. So, despite me not feeling so hot, I pulled all my energy together and decided to go and take my camera to document the journey. The rewards for the kids were obvious and the rewards for me were feelings of such joy and happiness watching the kids making the most of something so simple.
Isn't it great when the kids just start hugging ... no, this was a request by me that they thought was pretty funny. Thus the laughs and giggling.
To say Mason LOVES the swing would definitely be an understatement. He wanted to swing for so long I actually thought he might get sick from it all. But oh no, he just never wanted it to end!
Oscar's favorite slide. Its super big and I think he feels a victorious feeling
every time he goes down it!
Underdog mom, again mom, again and again!
We were pretty lucky cause the park was absolutely empty of all other people except for us!
We had the whole place to ourselves. We could be as loud and as silly as we wanted!
More pushes mom, More, More!
Look at that look of determination as he tries to climb the tree. Nothing was going to
stop him from at least making a serious effort!
I love how he was smiling the whole time - except for when I said it was time to go home. Boy that did not go over well. He cried all the way to the car.
Ellie also felt like she could conquer the tree
I had so much fun that day. Everyone was so happy it was spreading like wild fire.
Mason was determined to climb to the top and got about half way up and I think he must have thought to himself, "What in the world am I doing! This is way too high for me." I ended up bringing him down and putting him back in his safe place -- the swing of course!
