My kids are good at being kids

If my kids ever say I never let them do anything fun, I'm gonna ground them!

A playgroup pal told us about the Girard Liberty Memorial Park that has a great creek to throw rocks in. Throwing rocks was great fun but then a slip into the water turned into ...
Well, since my shoes are wet I might as well wade around. That turned into...
Might as well enjoy this waterfall slide!
Emily enjoyed herself just not to the same extent.

I wanna try to come back when the leaves are changed since this is such a picturesque spot.

note to self: this would be a great spot to cool off on a super hot day!

Indoor Beach Party!

A few weeks before our turn to host a playdate, Zack announced that he was going to have a beach party, at his house, with sand and he was going to wear his swimtrunks. He gave me a few other details but I had already tuned him out because my first response was "yeah, right!" but then I thought it sounded kinda fun (and it was).
