The joys of being a kid

A day playing at the park is worth all the effort in a child's eyes. We drove to a nearby town and squeezed 3 car seats in the back seat and headed out for some free-for-all running, exploring, grand, fun time at the park. The kids played pirates in the castle and ship playground set up. Kailyn proved to me quite the leader as she took charge of the playground and ordered everyone around. Josh didn't seem to mind and Jacob just did his own thing. In this picture Kailyn is planting a tree leaf. Meanwhile Sher and I relished in some time of adult conversation!! Thanks Sher, I always love it when we get to talk! Great times. Then it was off to "Donald's" for some nuggets and ice cream.

Javin is the king of ingenious play toys. Here he confiscated Mimi's scooped out watermelon shell and turned it into a water fountain. He has such an amazing imagination and can come up with the most creative works of art. Who needs toys when you can play with a watermelon!

Kailyn has her share of imagination too. Here she is fishing in the mud with a stick. She was catching all kinds of fish! Silly girl!!
