In spite of being in Connecticut for Thanksgiving, the weather has been remarkably warm. So, every day, we've been able to walk to the park! It's their favorite thing to do!
We wait for the cars to go by and then race across the street. We have to hold hands until we get to the park because cars and trucks are dangerously close to the sidewalk! Rylie (with help) likes to walk on the guard rail along the way!
Once we get to the park, we can run and play. We climb all over the playground:
- going down the slides
- sliding down the fireman's pole
- walking on the balance beam
- climbing the steps, and
- riding the glider.
We run and play in the field. We even play with other children who join us at the playground!
We met some wonderful people the other day. They followed us everywhere we went! We couldn't shake them! We waved - and they waved back. We jumped - and they jumped, too! We ran - and they ran with us! Shadow people are a lot of fun!
Then, after a long time, we walk back home - because we're thirsty!
It's a wonderful time for Rylie, Coltin, Grammy and Poppy!
Once home, we go into the backyard and jump on the bounce-a-line! Uncle Troy is especially a lot of fun on the bounce-a-line! But he has to have another adult there to keep the children safe (he gets carried away)!
Going to the park is such simple fun! It doesn't cost anything. It's pretty safe. It's nearby. Yet, wonderful memories are made there! Everyone should go the park occasionally! It's better than television or video games or even playing with PlayDough!
Try it the next time there's a nice day! You'll like it! Especially if you take your grandchilren with you!
