A Day At The Park

Those sporadic visits to the city park are the greatest. It's days like this that make it fun to be a mom to three wonderful children. We all have those days where we wonder what ever happened to our sanity. Sometimes it's fun to just go to the park with your kids and let loose. That's just what we did yesterday. As you can tell the kids had much fun. Emily loved to swing. Tyler and Shelby loved pushing her more than they did climbing, sliding, or running. It was great fun for me to enjoy the laughter and smiles of my children. Being a Mommy is the greatest job in the entire world. Although there are times when they make me want to pull out my hair the love that a mother has for her children is like no other in the world and I could not imagine my life without that love.

Sunday's a Fun Day

Today we took advantage of this beautiful weather we've been having. Shelby and I packed a picnic basket with sandwiches, chips, and some fresh fruits. The whole gang headed to the local park for an afternoon picnic and some time for the kiddos to run off some excess energy.

We were home Friday because the kids have had Strep Throat. We've been cooped up in the house for the last two days and I thought it was much needed ~~for my sanity~~ to get out and enjoy the weather! We went to the local river side park. The kids love to go because they have a fun playground. There is also picnic tables and lots of shade as well as lots of hiking trails. We had some food, the kids played a while and I took advantage of several photo opportunities:
Next up was the big hike. The kids had a lot of fun. We didn't get off the beaten path much due to the fact that we had Emily. Well, I had Emily. I had her in the Snugly carrier. I was a bit afraid to do to much rock climbing for fear of sliding down and landing in this: So, while Brien spent most of his time with this view:
Emily and I enjoyed the beautiful rocks and trying to keep up. *wink*
Overall we had a lovely day. It's been a while since we've enjoyed some good ole family fun that was very easy on the pocketbook! Well, it would have been only I LOST my wallet! Grrr...yup, on our way home we went to Hastings to rent some movies (just another reason to get Netflix right?!) and I lost my wallet somewhere between the store and my truck. I spent the evening calling to report my cards lost. Tomorrow I have to go to the DMV to get a new license. That should be a great way to spend my Monday morning, right!?

UPDATE:

A gentleman called my former work place. Thank goodness my sister took my place. She fielded the phone call. He informed her that he'd found my wallet! :) He'd looked inside and found my insurance cards which had the employer's name printed on them. He is going to bring it by there at noon today. Can you believe it. He told her there was no cash inside. Thankfully there hadn't been any to begin with. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything else is still inside!
