New Splash Park

Today we went to the new splash park in town. As I sat back and watched these two play I couldn’t help but smile. They are just starting to get to that age where they enjoy playing together. It was so sweet to see them hand in hand and laughing.

They probably went down this slide about 30 times together.

 

  

Emerson is saying, “Come on Bruder!”

 

He was such a ham today, stopping and posing anytime he saw the camera in my hand.

Thank you splash park for a fun day in the sun! I am sure we will be back many more times to soak up what little summer we have left!!!

Donaven starts Pre-K in 3weeks!

Happy Hunting

 On Thursday our playgroup friends gathered at Amy's house for an Easter Party.

 

Her back yard was perfect for our annual egg hunt.

  

Good food, good friends

 and Easter eggs what more could you ask for?

"No more pictures please Mom!"

 

 

The boys checking out their stash-o-candy.

 

Of-course, Donaven being Donaven can't be outside without finding some living creature and excitedly bringing it to me to show off. He told me that his caterpillar was going to make a chrysalis and then become a monarch butterfly!

The hunt. It’s not the
keeping but the finding, not
finding but being found.

Happy Hunting!

Pumpkin Patch

There is this amazing pumpkin patch in Pittsburgh, that Tiffany Angus took Donaven to when I was on bed rest, while pregnant with Emerson. She invited us all to go again with her this year and I am so glad that we did!

We started with a hay ride around the grounds.






Then scaled the hay mountain.






There were so many fun things to do. Slides, zip-line, an obstacle course,
games, and much more!











What an awesome way to kick off the fall season with friends!
