A mom, a dad, and three cute kids.

And so begins our Staycation

by amy

Nathan is using up the last of his vacation from this last year and he’ll be home all week next week. Woohoo! Nathan’s only request was that it be a “low-key” week. I think I can handle that.

I took the kids to Hyland Park in Bloomington today. We had fun, but it would have been more fun if I had a big person along to go with Ethan so he could do all the big chutes and ladders that I couldn’t do while taking care of Isaac. We’ll definitely go back and bring along more helpers. There are three different play structures: one for babies/toddlers, one for Audrey/Ethan’s age and one big one with higher climbing things and bigger tubes for bigger kids. Ethan just wasn’t ready to brave it all on his own. There was also a spray area. That was a huge hit! Ethan and Audrey spent about 30 minutes running around in the water.

How about a cute photo of our big kids? I took this while we were checking out the the demolition of old Holy Trinity Elementary school. It was just a block from our house and that made it easy to pop over and see the progress up close.

    I agree – that picture of Ethan and Audrey is adorable. I wonder if there is a way your or Nathan could fuzz out the people in the background and make an enlargement of it. Just a thought.

    Love,
    chris
