A Family Day...

Very rarely, do we not have somewhere we need to be on a Sunday. So when Sunday rolled around and we had absolutely nothing planned, we thought, why not take Sophia to the park? If you recall, Sunday was quite hot and we were thinking there would be a ton of kids at the park. We grabbed lunch at Subway and took it to the park to eat. We were pretty surprised when we drove up and saw only one other family there. Then we realized everyone else was probably near a pool keeping cool. Once we sat down at a picnic table under the shade, the temperature wasn't all that bad. After eating our sandwiches and trying to get Sophia to finish hers, we finally gave in and took her on the swings. She hasn't been to the park for a few months now, and seeing her expression when Jeff started pushing her on the swings was priceless! She was having an absolute blast and was grinning from ear to ear and laughing. Next we took her on the play structure and down the slide. Last time we took her we had to help her, but this time she was able to go down the slide all by herself, and it made me realize just how much time had passed by since our last visit to the park. After that we took her for a walk around the park and though she's a busy girl, we were able to capture some recent pictures of me and Jeff with her. We had such a nice, relaxing time at the park, just our little family, and we hope to start simplifying life and taking time
for these family days more often.
