The weather was so beautiful this weekend that George and I went back to the nature park that we went to for Earth Day. We packed a little picnic lunch, a new kite (also from the dollar store), and spent a few hours enjoying fresh air and a bit of nature in the middle of city life. Breanna’s just happy as long as she can spot birds. And when she does, the whole general area knows because she screams, “BIR! BIR!” over and over again.

We were hungry and Hayley wanted to go to the play park to go on the swings as soon as possible after eating, so we used a picnic table not far from the water, which was nice and it was in the sun, but next time I think we’ll go a little further in and take a table in among the trees on the grass.

There wasn’t much wind but Hayley was happy that we were able to get her new kite up a few times. I think this may become a new obsession with her.

After our visit to the park was over, we stopped by George’s parents’ house and Hayley ended up staying for supper and didn’t get home until 7:45. Meanwhile, we visited our friends Dean and Joanne for awhile and then when the kids went to bed we relaxed and watched a couple of episodes of “Criminal Minds”.

I want lots of weekends like this.
