The weather wasn't great last Saturday, but it could've been much worse. It was overcast and cool, but at least it was dry and that's really the only condition that we cared about. You know, kinda the same philosophy we have with the dogs - so long as it's dry, we'll venture out.
We went to the park by the old house, the one we went to last year when everyone visited. There wasn't anyone else out there so we had the run of both playgrounds, which was nice. It can be a pain when you're little and fighting to gain your footing among the six-year-olds.
There was tire-swinging...
And horseback riding, which Owen took very seriously.
Not the McHusband and me though. We were having fun reaching out to our inner children.
Of course, there was a LOT of sliding.
I think the best caption for these next two pictures is, "Weeeeeeeee!"
The kids did lots of climbing.
Owen mastered this ladder after one trip up.
Lyla took a short break from the swingin' and slidin' to do some sitting as well as what appears to be some cheering.
Soon enough, it was time to head over to the pond to check things out.
We found a dead minnow on the ground by the pond. Lyla isn't her mother's daughter nor is she either of of aunt's nieces; she picked that little dead fishy right up.
Guess what else we saw while we were out there? A mean ol' snapping turtle!
At one point, Calvin called so Owen was walking around talking to him. Doesn't he look like he's conducting important business?
Okay, that wraps up Saturday day. Still to come: working out with the McHusband.
