park stuff

You, of course, will be very interested to know that our new home is right across the street from a great little park. That is extremely fascinating, I know. And every once and awhile, we drag ourselves off our lazy behinds and walk over there to get some fresh air, and act like a real family is supposed to. And here's the pictures to prove it.

There is absolutely no reason to come to a park, unless you bring food, and then feed it to some lazy little birds. It is also very fascinating, as you can see. I'm wondering if my family has ever seen a bird before. It would appear not.

And it's always important to force your nine month old baby down a slide. Because it's a photo, you can't hear what she's saying. It's something like this... "giggle giggle, sure I'll go down this slide, giggle, I think it will be just super, giggle giggle, yeah that's bread in my hand, giggle."

Jarom: "I caught a fish and it was THIS big... no, really... I did. Look at my eyes, don't they look serious and trustworthy to you???" Conner doesn't look convinced. And I have to admit, I'm not either... after all we were playing at a park, we weren't fishing.

Conner: "Who are you, and what are you doing in my car?"

Now just look very closely at Reid's face in this one, and then look at his left hand... one of those fingers has slipped off, and he knows the other nine are about to follow. And a split second after this picture was taken, they did.

Ummm... I don't really know what to say about this one. In moments like these, It's best to say... ahhh, they are so much like their father.

The ground around the park equipment is covered in wood chips that apparently have been pre-soaked in some reddish/brown substance specially designed to stick to your children's faces and clothing, so that by the time you leave the park, your family is a disgusting mess.

Which makes Wes really mad.
