A Day at the Park

It was a nice sunny day, Nicole was working, my mom was in town, so I thought why not, lets pack a lunch and go to the park. So we did, and no one was there, and it was great. The kids sat at the picnic table like they had been doing it for years. They didn't eat much but I didn't care because watching them sitting there like that was a great moment for me. It was like watching a small step toward a little more independence, for everyone! So here we are.

Hannah and Jonathan are next to Nicole and Liv and Hayden are next to my mom.

Liv on the tire swing.

Hannah walking in the grass! This too is a great accomplishment, because the girls hate walking on grass.

Me swinging with Big Boy and Nicole with Hayden.

Olivia having a blast with Grandma pushing her way to high.

Hannah trying to climb out the swing.

And down the slide Liv goes crashing into her into her brother and sister like bowling pins.

This was also the day of my 5th consecutive 24th birthday and it was wonderful.
