The Park

Emma remembers everything.  Sometimes it’s a good thing.  Sometimes it’s not.  The other day she mentioned in passing it’d be a great idea for us to go to the park and take their bikes and eat a picnic.  And we really should do that this Saturday.  I told her that’d be great but she’d be at MIL’s this weekend.  I thought that was the end of it.

Saturday for some unknown reason I got out of bed earlier than I normally do on a weekday and cleaned up the house.  Around 10:30 I got a call from Emma saying she was calling about our park visit and when could I come get her?  Oh and can S go too?  Um….ok.  Let me run a few errands and I’ll be over at lunchtime.

We decide to do the picnic part first.  Except Lexi got mad about something.  Usually Emma and S do things together and leave her out and she gets mad.  I can’t recall what happened but Lexi insisted on sitting by herself:

And this is Lexi pouting sitting by herself:

I think it’s the cutest picture ever and I probably shouldn’t.

The girls decided they wanted to play before getting the bikes out so they headed straight for the sand.  The same place that used to be a pool when I was a little girl.  Except S and Emma got the toys first.  So this is Lexi pouting about that:

OK, I won’t pick on her anymore.  She did have some fun:

So the girls finally decided to ride their bikes.

And I just happen to think that’s an adorable picture too.  And this one too.  The girls stopped to go potty and left their bikes parked in a line.

Turns out the bathrooms were closed.  What better thing to do than drink water when you have no bathroom handy??

It was really hot outside.  My girls stopped for a break.  I’m not sure what Lexi is doing here.  I do know she wasn’t pouting.

Oh, look!  Someone came to visit us!  Daddy!  And yes, that does draw a little attention from other park-goers.

I think it’s hot.  And well, it technically was our anniversary so I made him take a picture.  Right before this he said, “Embarrassing!”

So we finished out the visit with Emma taking the camera.  I think I had either my it’s hot out here or Emma, what are you doing face on.

And just like a sixteen year old she took pictures of herself.

I don’t know Em, I think this time, your outstanding memory was a good thing.
