a trip to the park

this evening B stayed home with peanut so that i could run to the store with the little dudes. on the way, we made a little 15 minutes pit-stop at the park. it was so nice out...77 degrees and a light breeze. it's rained all week on and off so this was a welcomed break. it amazes me that with all the fancy schmancy city parks around here, this park is by far the boys favorite. it doesn't have rubberized mulch, no real playground equipment, no special swings or fancy splash parks. in all honesty, i think it's exactly the same as it was when i was a kid playing at that park! it still has wooden play equipment, an honest to gosh merry go round and a HUGE metal slide. here are a few pics:

pooks had high goals of sliding down the big slide by himself

yet half way up he remembered that last time, he didn't actually like the big slide...
back down he went!

the boys however tend to favor the merry-go-round. they jusst want to go fast! fast! fast!
bubba

pooks

tonight the majority of their time was spent digging in the sand. pooks is a little too short to work the gears but he doesn't let that stop him.

bubba was working hard (with his leaf -that he felt the need to bring home)

all in all, it was a great evening. peanut passed the time sitting outside with his daddy and jumping in his new jumperoo. (pics of that to come tomorrow!) gotta love lazy weekends :)
