sunday in the park
Somebody was an incredible crank last night. I don't wanna name names here, but let's just say it rhymes with "Shmenny." Truth be told, I think it's his new tooth that's trying to make its big entrance that caused his irritability, but he went to sleep early, around 5:30pm, and woke up 12 hours later in a much better mood.
He played and noshed with his mommy, before I relieved her and took the boy and the dog for a walk/stroll. Our usual route up the street was interrupted by the local Rotary Club's 5 & 10k road race, so we dodged a few runners before ducking down a side street.
Our detour proved to be fortuitous, as we stumbled across an untouched garage sale. I normally don't pay much attention to these things, but my sudden change of heart ended up landing us a 2-DVD set of "The Best of Schoolhouse Rock" for...get this...$2. I may have to change the way I think about garage sales.
After we got back home, I told Overboard about my acquisition and we decided to get out of the house and take Kenny to the kid's museum (of which we are now members). Of course, as we pulled into the museum parking lot, I asked my beautiful bride, "Um, sweetheart, when does the museum open?" Luckily, there was a sign posted to tell us exactly that: "The museum opens at noon today." It was 10am. D'oh.
Undaunted, okay, mildly daunted, we opted to take Kenny to the park across the street from The Glen. Another smart decision. Kenny had a great time running around checking things out, and was mesmerized by the fountain we wouldn't let him run through (since we didn't have a change of clothes with us).
So after all of that build-up and play-by-play, here are the park pix:
Kenny ponders where to begin.
A lot of my pix are of Kenny's back, since he was constantly moving on to the next adventure.
Kenny approaches the forbidden fountain.
Can you stand the excitement? Kenny can.
"Hmm...springy. I wonder if I can bounce my whole body off this?"
Overboard helps Kenny quench his playground thirst.
A mother and son bonding moment. All together now: "Awwwwwww."
