Family Time at the Park

In an attempt to break up the LONG stretch between Labor Day and Thanksgiving break, we decided to take a "family day" right between the two. We all stayed home yesterday and took it slow. It was so nice to just to hang out and PLAY! We took a fun trip to the park in the afternoon that quickly turned to evening! A & D are doing so much better at pumping the swings by themselves. The fact that we could ALL swing at the same time was REALLY fun! Of course our budding scientists needed to collect as many treasures as their pockets would allow. Mr D was convinced that the somewhat clear/transparent rocks would "glow in the dark." Little Miss A loved the black rocks, "they look so cool!" Of course no trip to the park is ever complete without a fun game of tag, that was definitely my highlight of the afternoon. Their ear piercing screams and sweet little laughs are absolutely contagious!
