MLK Day at the Park

What fun we had on Monday at the JICP. It was so nice to have the day off and be able to spend it with friends. Wish Daddy could have been there, but we had fun nonetheless. Thanks, Amanda, for putting this together.

It's hard work, watching these kiddies. Good thing we have a strong team! What will we do when the young ones outnumber us?

Up and down. Up and down. The first hour of the day was nothing but real life Chutes and Ladders! Well that, and trying to figure out how Harris' hair mysteriously got wet.This slide was perfect because, although it started really high up, the incline was so gradual that the children didn't come shooting out at the bottom. Reeves loved it.Ashley and Fordham get down and dirty in the rocks. The Target truck was a big hit.My monkey hamming it up by the tree. This was after the picnic, where he would only eat if I fed him like you would feed a horse. I should have brought apples and carrots instead of chicken and tomatoes. I did make sure to keep my fingers and thumb out of the way.Poor May. So close to being able to walk. It won't be long now. Then you won't have to crawl through the lunches and the mud. You can just step right over them!Mills wanted rocks for lunch, but mean ole Nancy made him have PB&J. Something about nutritional content and digestability. Can't believe these two are almost a year old. It seems like just yesterday we were waiting for them to get here.Brian kindly gave Rossi a few of minutes off and took both kids for a quick walk.Herding cats? Yeah, that's what it's like. These kids better appreciate these pictures when they get older! Harris takes a moment to reflect on all the fun he had this morning. Way to stay hydrated!

And finally, the patriarch and matriarch of the group. Spencer and MK, y'all better be good because all of these other little ones are learning form you!! You two are in charge when we're not around.
