here's where i ramble about our new favorite park and show off cute pictures of my cute kids

There are two things I rely on heavily in my life these days:

1) public libraries

2) public parks

Both are free. 

Both provide endless opportunities for fun and learning and being creative. 

#2 especially helps with getting all the energy out of my energy ridden crew.

And, thankfully, both are in good supply around where we live. (I may or may not have google-mapped the nearest library before we moved, even before I googled-mapped anything else. And yes, I realize I made google-mapped a verb.)

Anyways...

Ever since we moved I have been slowly but surely visiting all the new parks in the area. This week we found our favorite so far. It is complete with a unique playground, huge rocks to climb, wide open spaces, and of course the most important element of all...clean bathroom facilities.

Since we went on Jeremiah's day off I actually brought my camera with me. I usually don't even attempt to take pictures when I have all four by myself at a park these days. Bad things happen like losing a kid if I do. Not that I have ever lost a kid. It doesn't count if it is under 5 minutes, right?

Zoe loves to taste test all the local foliage these days.

The ONLY picture I have of me with my four blessings. I need to get out from behind the camera more often, huh.

Ezra conquered the rock wall!

Eli was right behind him.

My boys "showing" me their muscles. It's ok to laugh at the ridiculousness of this picture.

Busy big girl!

And finally, my favorite outtake of the day...lest you think my kids always take cute photos or nonsense like that.
