On Monday we packed up a picnic lunch and headed to Forsythe park for some fun!
The squirrels were very active that day, the boys were expert Squirrel Spotters.
After lunch they played a bit on the playground, sliding, swinging, climbing, and more!
(A side note: Last year the boys had such a melt down when we switched to long pants from short pants, I made sure to transition into long pants on a weekend where we could discuss it. C kept asking for his "little pants" (shorts) and telling me "I like cold, I chase it away!" The "sleeves" (legs) on his pj pants kept coming up, and so he decided that tucking them in his socks was the solution! H tolerates his jacket so he can keep wearing shorts for another week...)
Chasing after brother, if only he was a few inches taller...
Balancing on the balance beams
Such beautiful old trees at Forsythe.
Once the park loses its interest, there is still plenty left to explore, they began rock and "ecorn" (what C calls acorns) collecting.
Walking the "great wall" (good time for a mini lesson about the Great Wall of China!) Its hard to see, but H found half of a brick and carried it all across the great wall and all around the park! And then of course, little brother found a little brick to carry too.
"Look! We're soup!" (H)
They are both sitting on their bricks. Still a beautiful park, but I wish I could have seen it when everything was new, and the fountains were running...
They found just the perfect tree to climb, we had such a great time exploring the park on the beautiful day.
