The kids first played in the water. I didn't bring swimsuits because it was cold and cloudy when we left our house but when we got there it was warm and sunny--of course! The water was freezing but the kids didn't seem to mind.
(I frantically followed Madison around trying to help her avoid falling in--cast and all! She only fell once but she quickly lifted her cast up and avoided getting it wet. Phew!)
After the kids were too cold to play in the water anymore, we took a ride on a little train around the park. That brought back memories of riding it with Savannah when she was little.
Meanwhile, Hunter was off exploring up the creek with the older boys. He came back competely soaked and very cold. After I got him all wrapped up in a towel, he excitedly told us all about the adventure they went on--finding loads of golf balls, a basketball, a very rusty car (greaaat), a piece of tile (which he asked me if I liked it enough to keep it), and seeing a snake swimming in the creek (yikes!).
Then we gathered together on the bank and had a yummy picnic lunch.
Then, when all the tummy's were full we played at the playground.
It was a fun full day!
I love summer days when we can get out of the house and just play.
