Haley M. Smith Park

Today we went to a park in Herndon that was a lot of fun, it was supposed to be a meet up play date but we didn't recognize anyone there.  However, there were lots of kids around H's age and she had fun, it was a nice play area just off Van Buren with several tunnel slides and some fun ride type toys.  Nice size for her age, we'll probably go back.

B took the kiddos to the park while I did some housework tonight, here are some evening highlights:

The sign of a satisfying meal...

"Playing with kids"

 

We think they'll stay blue...  :)

And welcome Roman to the world today, we look forward to making your acquaintance!  :)

No locals free today so we went to check out a new park this afternoon in an adjacent hood.  H met a new friend named Ali who showed up after a bit with his mum and grand so she at least had some "play with kids" time...

H is doing some excellent climbing these days...

She had fun for the most part, but the "ladybugs" on the slide seemed to perturb her a bit, they received a talking to a couple of times for being in the way...

End of summer, start of blog...

We decided to put this up as we don't always manage to stay in touch as much as we'd like, this way you can check in on us now and then as your schedule allows, without having to contend with our schedule!

Today was a lazy late summer day, we did a late afternoon trip to enjoy the warm sun at Brookleigh Park with H's friend R.

Yesterday we checked out Meadow Lane Park for the first time with H's friends J & E.  It is a small park but the locals contribute outdoor toys for all to share which makes it special, the kids really had a great time and played for over 2 hours before begrudgingly allowing themselves to be removed to go eat lunch.  :)

After the park we picked up take-out from Sunflower, the kids seemed so well behaved for a minute so had to take a snap of them sitting and eating so nicely!
