Family Night

Monday night my family decided to all get together for dinner and a bike ride at Willow Park. We had a great time. They also had a fun playground to play on too. My boys were exhausted by the time we got home, which equals a successful summer day!
I didn't go on the bike ride since I had Claire to watch and no husband there (he's in Kansas for training). So I sat with my pregnant sister and chatted. It was great! My mom was so nice to watch out for Carter on his scooter and turned around early because she could see he was getting tired. She's the best. Carl took Preston with him in his bike trailer with his cousin Ryan. He loved watching the world go by.

Kevin brought his dogs who got completely disgusting in the river. The rest of the night we all played the game of trying to avoid Lady and Cooper. Wet dog smell really is the worst!
Mike Budge played a game of tag with the kids on the jungle gym. He is the biggest kid of them all! My mom joined in the fun at the end, and everyone was out to get Grammy.
It's things like this that kids remember. I love that it wasn't anything expensive or extravagent, but we all had a great time just being together. My kids are still asking when we are going back. Thanks for a great night family!

It's always the simple things in life that mean the most. This sounds like such a lovely evening.
