Splash Park Fun

We met friends Kate, Nora, and Asher at the splash park today for some playtime and a picnic lunch. The kids played for close to two hours and by the end, they were fried. Lainey and Walker were very, very ready to take naps when they got home. The heat had zapped all of their energy. It kinda zapped mine, as well! Anyway, we had fun and the kids had fun and it was an all-around good time.

Thank you, Nora, for letting Walker play with your pink watering can. You're nicer about sharing your pink watering can than Walker's sister is about sharing hers.

Thirsty!

sweet Asher

I had to keep an eye on Walker. At one point, he took off after seeing some birds (that eventually flew into small clump of trees) because he is so interested in them and he's convinced that someday, he'll actually get to touch one. He hasn't quite grasped the fact that the birds don't want to play with him. Lainey was so concerned about him going into the "forest" and I was concerned about him running into the street so the two of us started chasing him. I'm sure we were quite a sight...little short-legged Walker in his tiny swim diaper, running and pointing at the birds, his short-legged mom chasing after him, and then little Lainey in her bouncy tutu swimsuit running after me and yelling for Walker to stay away from the "forest." Glad there aren't any pictures of that scene!

I didn't get any good pictures of Lainey. She was a busy girl! She loved the splash park, but she also loved the playground. There was a giant purple ride-on dinosaur that lived on the playground that Lainey and Nora were quite fond of. He likes to eat buckets of wood chips. Who knew?

Thanks for a fun morning, friends! It was great to see y'all!
