Photos from the playground

Saturday was a perfect Spring day, mid-70s and clear, not too windy. While Ryan and Chris stayed home and took apart our hot water heater trying to figure out why the pilot light keeps going out, I took Nathan and Kaitlyn to a nearby playground. I love watching Kaitlyn play, when she runs it’s like watching joy in motion.

Her hair bounce with every step!

While standing near a big tree, we found little green inchworms hanging from their silk threads. Nathan picked up a thin stick and nudged one of the worms with it so it would crawl on to the stick for a closer look.

Then he put the stick up to the tree trunk so the worm could crawl back on. We watched the worm do that inchworm thing, pull himself together and then stretch back out to move. Kaitlyn was cheering the worm on.

The next inchworm fell off the stick into the grass, so the kids got down  for a closer look.

I love that despite their seven year age difference, Nathan and Kaitlyn play so well together. They went down one slide a bunch of times, sometimes with her in front:

And sometimes with him in front:

There was a bit of a temper tantrum when it was time to leave, but after two hours of almost non-stop running, I was worn out! We all took a good nap when we got home

   After having a somewhat bad day. These pictures brought me much needed joy. Ah, to be a kid again! I’m surprised you were able to keep up with them for two hours. No matter what they do, they always seem to have energy.

   Your kids are gorgeous! They seem to play well as you mentioned. I wish my brats played that well together. LOL Well, did they ever figure out why the hot water heater keeps going out?

   K.- My husband took it apart and cleaned out the filter thing at the bottom, he’s hoping that will do the trick!
