The Park

After being sick for little over a week and being cooped up at home, we finally got to enjoy some fresh air this past Tuesday at a nearby park. We haven't been there in while since we've been playing at the school playground. Anyway, it wasn't a sunny day, yet the weather was perfect: not too hot or cold.

Hubby was able to join us that day and they've put in a new play structure since the last time we've been there, which was almost three years ago. Anyway, there was a tube slide there that I would bet my life on that it was about two stories high. Being the brave and adventurous kids that they are, Sonny and Buggy Bug quickly climbed the stairs up to the top and came out of the slide two seconds later. It was super fast! Needless to say, the kids had a blast.

Zokey on the other hand enjoyed the baby swing and protested when it was time to go. Afterwards, we crossed the bridge to get on the "island." The kids saw a couple of ducks and a turtle! Hubby showed them the spot where his brother Jase almost drowned when he was kid. He stopped "drowing" when his uncle told him to "Stand up!"

Hubby had to go to the library, so we went to the local library. The kids enjoyed the books. They played with the little puppet theater with all the puppets and the cardboard blocks.

This was just a simple,wonderful way to spend time with the family after being sick with this awful flu for the second time this winter season.

GOLDEN NUGGET: Being reminded of the fact that my children are truly gifts from the Lord and being able to enjoy them on this ordinary day.
