To The Park
Every once in a while Dylan won’t want to go home after we drop off Thade. Last week we had one of those days, so I decided to take the little kiddos to the park to play.
The morning light was beautiful.
The park was so quiet too.
I can’t wait for Fall, I love the park in the Autumn.
The ducks were at another lake, so we didn’t get to see them this time.
Dylan was really excited to be at the park.
Agnes was having some troubles with allergies, but she enjoyed watching Dylan climb and run around.
Before we knew it, it was time to head back home.
Hopefully we’ll see some cooler temps and more trips to the park.

We are still working on our 25 Things to do this Summer activity list, and one of the activities that made the list was Kiddieland. It was 4th of July weekend and we met up with Grandma and Aunt Jill for a day at the park.
Kiddieland is full of great rides for kids. This time around Dylan was big enough to ride many of the rides. There is a Roller-coaster, a Ferris Wheel, a Train that tours the park, and many other rides too. The kiddos got to have Cotton Candy and Sno-cones too, they were super happy about that one.
There are boats to ride.
Dylan found a car to ride too.
Both of the boys loved the airplanes.
Thade got really brave this year. He rode a few small rides, and then opted to ride the Roller-coaster, once with Dad, and then a few times by himself.
The kiddos had a great time, and we just might have to visit Kiddieland another time or two this Summer.

One more cloudy day, and that means cooler temps. This time we headed out to the walking track that is at the local college. It is a great 1/2 mile track with a nice paved path, and plenty of benches for the kiddos to rest at too.
Dylan was ready to go!
Thade decided that he wanted to jog most of the way. He is super ambitious.
The Little Miss was happily hanging out in the little stroller, even though tooth #3 was bugging her.
The view from the track was pretty, and we looked and looked for turtles as we walked by.
I think the kiddos stopped for a rest at every bench they saw.
We made our way back to the start. I’m hoping for a few more cool days so we can go again.

Out For A Walk
The weather was cooperating, and we had a lovely cool and cloudy day. Perfect for taking the kiddos for a walk around the block.
The moment that I mention to the boys that we are off for a walk, Dylan immediately makes a request to walk by “the castle”. It is one of his favorites.
It is a beautiful Victorian home just a few blocks from ours, and it is lovely no matter what the season is.
We walked further, and spotted a butterfly in a wildflower garden.
There is also beautiful woodwork on so many of the houses nearby.
We walked just a bit further to one of the oldest Churches in town.
The keystone reads 1873, it is quite a sight.
The kiddos climbed up and down the stairs…
But an impending rain storm brought on the humidity, and I had two boys begging to walk back home.
I grabbed one more picture…
And one little picture of the secret garden behind the Church.
Dylan asked if we could walk by the castle just one more time before we went home…
With beautiful lime green shady leaves such as this, how could I say no.
