Slight Detour

The forecast for today was cloudy with a chance of rain later tonight, so we thought we would get to enjoy some time outside before the rain.  We drove down to the river, where our intention was to go fishing and feed some ducks; except we didn't get out to go fishing because there were so many people parked here (mainly for the restaurant) that we would have parked pretty far away.  And then what if Emma wasn't even interested in fishing and we would have to walk that far there/back and be disappointed.

  So we turned around and as we were heading back, we went through a new development to look at the houses.  They are beautiful houses, but who knows how long we will be here and if building a new house would be in the best interest for us.  Back on track after driving through the neighborhood and then we went to something we knew the kids would love...a park!  Thankfully, we still had Emma's bike in the back of the car so she was able to ride it around at the park.  Emma also had a little friend come over and look at her bike and Heidi dog.  Then they were off running around the park!



Riding the bike off the parking lot...


and almost into the car.  Good stop Daddy!


 Detour through the grass.


 And she is done with the bike.


 Keeping an eye on what his sister is up to.


 She's fast!


Looking at the other people at the park.
 

 Content swinging.


 Emma likes to go high!


 Heidi dog got to swing today too!


Watching as Emma went higher and higher.


 Cranking her up...


 Zooming by Mason!

So much excitement on her face!

 


 Cranking her up higher this time...


 The 'oh, crap look' as they almost took out me!


 Emma was being silly in her swing.


 Awesome picture!
 

 Great picture of us :)


Our happy little girl.


 Trying to find out what and where the noise is coming from.


 At last, we found this bird in a tree nearby.  It was driving Michael crazy!


 Mason fell asleep in the swing, again.


 Heidi dog is getting ready to ride the bike.


 Safety first!


 Running all over the park.


 Stopping for a quick drink.


 Attempting to ride her bike again.
 

 Getting a little guidance from Daddy.


 Checking back to see if Mommy was still watching her.


 Heidi dog got to go down the slide today too!


 Weeee!  Weeee!


And Emma came right behind her.



 Waiting to see if her new friend was coming down the slide.


 And she is off!


 Michael pushing Mason just a little high.


 And then taking a break from pushing Mason to push the ghost rider.


Heidi dog went down the tunnel slide, but no Emma to follow.
