We met at 11:15 am (both pulling into the parking lot at the exact time!) and spent several minutes unloading the kids and making sure that everyone had sunscreen, water and their shoelaces tied. And then off we went.
It turns out that a lot of other people had the same idea that we did and the place was pretty busy. But, the girls stuck together and this allowed me to focus on Jack and his location at all times. Louie spent much of his time in the stroller just people-watching.
Jack loves slides of all kinds. Long ones, short ones, twisty ones ... and ones like this that are really meant for walking UP them.
Sophia stretched her legs a lot by making multiple trips up and down this rock wall.
Such a happy little girl.
It was difficult to catch up with Samantha, as she was constantly onto the next big adventure.
The teeter-totter shaped like a dragon fly!
In and out ...
This girl was born to climb!
And her little sister wasn't too far behind:
Right around noon, everyone's internal clock was telling them that it was lunchtime, so we took a break and headed out into the parking lot to get the picnic basket. 'This wasn't my first rodeo,' so to speak, so I managed to pack every last little thing that we would need -- right down to a disposable tablecloth and baby wipes for sticky fingers. Plus, we found a picnic table directly located next to a trash basket. Perfect!
(In full disclosure though, we had a picnic lunch just the day before down at our subdivision beach -- the girls had invited two friends over for a playdate -- and I packed sandwiches for everyone ... but me! So, I was feeling pretty good about this particular picnic lunch success).
After lunch, the kids were off and running for another hour of fun! Needless to say, it made for some great naps later that afternoon!
