This morning we told the kids that if we could get the house cleaned up we could go to the park and invite a friend. As it turned out only Rebecca's friends, Missy (in white) and Krissy (in peach) were available on short notice. We'll have to plan better for next time but at least two friends came. On the other hand the park was packed and it made it tough to keep the kids in sight at all times. Perhaps it was for the best. Notice that Joseph loves being in photos. Sarah was glad Rebecca's friends visited with her as well.
Can you spot TJ and Joseph on the rope climber?
Here is a close up of Joseph.
Here is Peter doing a rock climb.
I didn't get any shots of David. As far as I can tell he spent the whole time running or on his scooter. The kids all seemed to have a good time.
This shot is actually from earlier in the day after Peter finished off the black berries but I think it describes how Heidi and I felt after watching 8 kids at the park. Thankfully they are all good kids. When it was time to go nobody fought us. Krissy and Missy were polite and said thank you when we took them home.
Heidi and I have been talking about how memories of experiences seem to last much longer than memories of things. We hope we created some memories today.
Its a good policy to balance work with fun. Pic of Peter a little scary. Glad he likes berries. We have similiar photos of little Becca with cherry stain/
