Day at the Park.

The best times often stem from the most spontaneous, jump up and just go do it moment.

Ingredients for a fun summer day:

One 9am phone call from your sister, eight kids, one great big empty park, pb&j sandwiches, veggie chips, one cantaloupe, 7up, grape juice, bottled water, and chocolate chip cookies. Mix in a little patience, a few loud Momma screams (eg. Stop! Freeze! Come back!) and there you have it, everything you need for a perfect memorable day at the park.

Eight kids. You tell me we aren't brave.

We met at a place called Micke Grove park. It's maybe the half way point between Renee's and my home. We had been there a few times as kids. We were sitting at a picnic table and I looked at Renee and said "where did all these kids come from?"

They are all ours, the one with the spongebob shirt is our nephew Chase, Jimmy's boy.

If you zoom in on the roller coaster picture you can see how terrified the boys were, you know the girls were fearless!
