The weather is amazing this morning, 77 and cloudy. It was a prefect morning to surprise the kids with a trip to the park. We haven’t been to the park since Day Camp ended, the weather has just been too stinking hot. We were taking Dad back to work, and I decided to drive past the house, and head towards their favorite playground.

Thade was a little worried that we didn’t stop off at our house, but he was really happy when he realized where we were going. We drove down the big hill, and stopped at Thade’s favorite play area. It has a larger Playground for the big kids, and a mini play ground for the little ones. Both Dylan and Thade could play safely and have fun.

The park also has a lot of Ducks and Geese that beg to be fed. They are so cute, and Dylan wasn’t too scared of the big honking geese begging for treats. He kept saying, ” Oh, mom, duck”! Thade didn’t get too close though, he kept his distance from the honking geese. Maybe next time we’ll bring along some treats for the ducks and geese.

Once the boys were tired from all of the running around we headed back up the hill to visit the Bird and Rabbit Display. The park has a display of Midwest Birds and Turkeys. Thade liked the Chickens the best. The park also has several Rabbit hutches with adorable bunnies. I love rabbits, and wish I could free them from their cages and take them all home with me. Dylan loved the bunnies, and kept saying “Oh, mom, duck!” I tried to get him to say “bunny”, but all he could say was duck. Thade kept asking the bunnies to make sure and visit him for Easter, and don’t forget to bring chocolate and Easter eggs.

It was a fun morning, and a great outing for the boys. I’m glad that we took advantage of the cooler weather, it is going to be 110 tomorrow! We have VBS later today, and Thade is ready to go. I hope that Dylan does well too.
