...there is a swing that is like no other...

(and fyi that is BBQ pork in Gage's hand because, let's face it, sometimes we multi-task)

...there is a swing that is like no other (part II)...

(even though this kid is a durn good pumper)There is a swing in another town (but not too far away) that Ryan is *ahem* obsessed with.

it's a swing attached to a a zip line...

and here's the end of the ride:

the smile to prove the {love}:



there is a swing like no other that brings a smile like no other.

-------
gage had fun too (even though he's too little for the Zipline Swing)

he had a blast with the "ducks":



he kept running around them saying, "Hi ducks!" and making seagull noises- so, so, so funny.

he even got to feed a few (underarm).

and (overarm)

gage's new {thing} is to name something (like "duck") and then sniff the air and say, "mmm...smells good". park-goers found him quite entertaining. and so did i.

seriously. this park (howard amon) is worth the drive.

------

what trip would be complete without sand in the shoes?

and because i'm a {freak}, i force my children to hold onto things while i take their pictures near water. note that gage is not in these 'light' photos- lol.

this day...this day at the park...i'm never gonna forget it.

i don't remember my costco list from that day.

or what i picked up at target.

i do, however, remember hearing ryan ask if we were almost at the park

and thinking "oh yeah, i guess i did tell him we'd go..."

i do remember the smiles on these two little guys...

and the smile in my heart as i watched them play.

...just another day at the park and i can't think of anything i'd rather be doing...

cheers to your next park adventure!
