Took the Kids For a Walk...


"CHEESE!!"

So I picked the kids up today and decided I would take them on the long walk along the river, that we like to do...I planned on picking up Wendy's or something and I thought that I better go home 1st and get the stroller.

Well I searched my bag while at home, which is a HUGE mess, and I couldn't find my wallet!!! Ugh! So I dug for quite a while and then decided I would call it quits & check work tomorrow.
Well I still wanted to go get dinner so I text my friend Sybil and asked if she was working tonight. She works at Albertsons, "IT'S YOUR STORE..." Anyway she said she was! YAY! So we went to see her and I had the check book and I knew most fast food places wouldn't take checks, so we got our dinner at Alberstons. Sybil took my check & made sure it would go through her machine and it did so I got $20 in cash. I was so glad that she was able to do that for us! We got turkey bacon wraps that came with chips and a cookie.

Then we drove to the downtown library and took a walk. The smells along the walk were so fragrant & sweet, almost a honeysuckle smell. We saw people floating the river having a great time, people out with their dogs running, people riding their bikes along the trail with my kids yelling, "HI & GOODBYE!!", and people playing volleyball. Fun times! We got to a pavilion and ate our dinner. Then we went on to the "Big Park" as my kids call it. I let the kids play awhile and then I looked across the park & saw the fountain was on...
AND IT WAS HUGE! So I got the kids packed up in the stroller again and we went over to the fountain! It was SO MUCH FUN! The kids ran & played in the water...
They were screaming too haha!
Cute lil stinkers ;o).

Ben would stick his bum (he still had clothes on...LOL) in the water, that drained out, and he got ALL wet. Pretty wicked cool move Benjamin, below...Amelia would just stick her hands in the water haha. I finally told them we had to go because the sun was going down & we had to walk ALL THE WAY to the library...

As we walked through the tunnels the kids & I would yell, "TACO!!!!" and "OHHHHHHHHHWEEEEEEE!" Amelia started us on the Taco thing, back when she was REALLY little, because she thought we were saying "TACO" when we were saying "ECHO." LOL!

We got to the car safely and had an enjoyable time. Got the kids home, bathed, and in bed!
Great day & I wish there were more like them!

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING WITH YOUR KIDS?

This Video is of Amelia squealing while running from the fountain haha (poor quality due to it being my cell phone :o( .) It's what the kids did the whole time ;o). We weren't there long, but will go back again & spend more time there for sure!!

We went to that park on Monday during the day and played in the fountain. It is so much fun. They thought it was crazy that they didn't need their swimming suits. You guys look like you had a great time.
