Park It.

Jake had to work yesterday, and since we didn't want to spend the ENTIRE day cooped up in the house, we met daddy at the park near work and had a picnic and played on the little playground. Riley is FEARLESS. She climbs up the stairs of the playground like it's her job. Out of the two slides there were to choose from, she chose the biggest and baddest. And to top it off, the slide was scalding hot, and it burned my butt... she didn't seem to notice when she went down. All I got from her was "haaa-aa-t" -- but I am not sure she really even knows what hot means.
Gavin enjoyed his time outside in the fresh air. Mommy and daddy took turns playing with Riley on the playground. Such good fun! Next time, we are gonna check out the "spray park".

After daddy got home from work, mommy went out for some girlie fun with her friends.... more on that later.
I am too tired tonight to write anymore.... but a final thought for the evening that appeared in my daily inspirational email:
"I seek to understand and live my individual purpose."
I concur.
