Fun at the Park

Today's the last day of May.  I didn't quite hit my goal of blogging every day this month, but I did come very close.  There's always next May, right? 

The weather this month has been crazy to say the least.  Last night, we were under tornado warning again!  We got our fair share of hail at our house and a tornado touched down right by Jason's old store.  Tonight, we have another threat of severe weather.  We may be cancelling plans to visit our friends.

With all of the rain, we've been staying inside a lot.  I really thought that the kiddos would enjoy getting out for a little while, so we went to the park.  We took my niece, Jessi, with us too.

When we got to the play ground, we heard someone call out to Addi.  It was her friend Dallas!  She was so excited to see him. She talked a lot about him during the school year.  She even sit by him during their graduation. She was more than happy to help him fill his shoes with pea gravel today. ha!  I really enjoyed watching the two of them play together.  They were a hoot!

Karsyn loved every second at the park.  She loves climbing up the slides. Every time she would go up, she'd say "Climb, climb, climb!"  She's so determined.

Even though Karsyn is super independent, Big Sister Payton was never too far away.  Payton loves to take care of her.  It's sweet to watch the two of them together.

And the few times that Payton wasn't too close, Jessi was more than happy to help Karsyn out....whether she wanted help or not.  (Hmmm...I wonder how that's going to work later in life?  A very independent girl with a gaggle full of sisters and girl cousins who like to help.  Oh boy!  We'll worry about that later. ha!)

The kiddos had to take quite a few breaks to empty their shoes.  Evan really enjoyed the fact that he got to meet Dallas.  We've heard so many stories about him, we all feel like we know him.

I really enjoyed talking to Dallas' grandma.  We exchanged ideas of fun summer things to do.  I think the kids had a lot of fun and I can't wait to take them to the park again. Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
