Day Out at the Park...

It does not matter how slowly you go

so long as you do not stop.

This weekend was gorgeous here so we decided to spend one afternoon out at the park. Shortly after we got there, my memory card on my camera was full and my battery was low so I felt like I didn't get to take that many photos although when I got home, I had over 60 so I guess that I did okay. Here are a few of the better/more fun ones...

This was one of the first photos that I took when we got there. You would think from the looks on the kids' faces that we had just arrived at the Dentist's office, not the park. LOL! Kat was really ready for a nap (although it was too late in the day for her to take one and Jacob has just spent too many of his 13 years hamming it up for the sake of my photography.)

Jacob's attitude about my photography quickly improved though, because right before this photo he knocked over my coffee cup with the football so he was trying to make up for the fact that my beloved coffee was soaking into the ground and not my bloodstream...LOL!

This is the view of Kat as she was watching her big brother hanging off the side of the caboose trying to figure out how she was going to do it. She is going to be my little adventurer...

We were at a little town park in the town that Jacob goes to school...in fact, this park is right across from his school and it's just beautiful. It has tons of huge trees, lots of open spaces, and an old railroad depot that they have kept up really nicely...including this great caboose.

The guys played football....

While Kat and I played on the swings.

Kat loves to be in the middle of everything esp. if it involves any food or drinks, and she is always willing to help. Jacob has quickly learned to hide the fact that he is eating if he wants to eat all of his snack by himself.

This park had all the classic playground equipment. How long has it been since you have seen a merry-go-round in a playground. These 3 had a blast on this one...I just kept screaming at them not to let go of her so that she didn't go sailing off of it.

Ben quickly discovered that slides don't work when you weigh 165 lbs...It was more of a scooch than a slide. LOL! It was a really fun day out at the park.
