We Love the Park!


Hannah is so happy to be out of the house!

"Here we go!" Hannah and Haylee about to slide

You can tell Eden has moved on and is ready to head to the next activity, can't you?! Tyson and Ben are such good big brothers! She's in good hands.

"Are you sure about this, Tanner?" asks Bella.

Eden is caught in the act of picking grass while Bella, the only one crawling as of this date, is marooned on a blanket, a little fearful of the grass.

For a family night activity we went to a nearby park and had a great time! In today's crazy, busy world where everything is so expensive and seems so far away or so inconvenient or requires so much planning it's a good reminder to us that we can pick up at a moment's notice and head to the park and have a fun time with free play! The kids loved taking their baby sisters on the slides, the boys enjoyed throwing the football (I even participated in that for a minute, reliving my powderpuff days, if only for a moment), Eden discovered grass and its smell, texture and taste...again and again and again. Bella thought it was so funny when I dug the grass out of Eden's mouth while saying "Gross, Eden, yucky! Ew! Yuck! Don't eat the grass!" And do you know what I enjoyed the most??? Watching my kids giggle and laugh and PLAY together without the interruptions of computers, video games, or cell phones! Oh, and of course the babies are getting so fun now! I think we're getting the hang of this huge family thing!

We had a few good weeks in May and the beginning of June where we could go to the park with the kids and throw frisbees and teach batting, but alas, we won't be able to do that again until October, I think. But then we'll have the whole winter and spring to do it. And Crew will probably love it more than he did as a 2 week old. :) Your post makes me miss the cool Utah evenings!!

I guess when you have triplets I think they are all supposed to look alike.. (I know they aren't identical) but when they are babies, you can't tell the differences as well. It is fun to see them get bigger and look so different!
