The Park

First, I want to note that I currently have two sleeping babes in my house.  Wyatt, Parker's BFF, AKA Amy's child, is here for the day.  He went to bed at 9:40 and Parker went to bed at 11, and they are both still asleep despite Reese's LOUD attempts to change that situation.  I am just doing a quick blog while I have a minute.  Great use of my time, huh?

We really like the Park in our neighborhood.  It takes us about five minutes to get there on our bikes and Parker really enjoys it.  The only thing that would make it better would be the foamy soft floor stuff that they have on some of the newer playgrounds we've visited, but overall, we like it a lot!  We went last week and had a few visitors when my Mom, Omi and Opa stopped by.

Many of the pictures did not turn out so hot because I adjusted the ISO to the wrong setting on the camera, which left a lot of "noise" in the pictures.  This will probably make sense to DSLR camera users only, but I felt the need to add the disclaimer anyways.  Here are a couple pictures that I salvaged from the bunch.

Parker loves Opa.  He says his name ALL.THE.TIME.  He loves all of his other relatives, too, of course, but there is something about Opa that intrigues him.


Big boy!  I'm pretty sure he wanted to attempt this alone, but that was not an option.


Notice the waving in the background.  He's like, "man, these people always get so excited to see me...what's up with that?"


Can you tell he's tired?  He's not quite staring at the lens.  He was looking right through me.  I took about ten pictures like this to try to get a little more expression, but that didn't happen.  

Obviously we will continue to ride to our park, but I also foresee visits to Mount Trashmore in the near future.  When it get's "too cold" to ride our bikes around the neighborhood with the boy on top of the bike, we will probably start making the short drive to Mount Trashmore to visit the BIG playground--one of Wyatt's favorite hangouts!  I'm sure we'll just happen to "run into him" a few times.  

Alright, time to end this post so I can prep lunch for THREE hungry boys.  Ryan is off and coming home from golf.  Twenty grilled cheese sandwiches...here I come!
