bond park

Amelia was still in a lot of pain the day after Veterans Day so she stayed home from school. Normally she would have been okay with that, but she had to miss a field trip to the Capitol and was so disappointed. She mostly spent the day reading. It was a gorgeous, warm fall day so we ventured out for a lunch picnic at Bond Park. Amelia continued to read a book while the boys played on the playground. It was about one year ago that we were hanging out at Bond Park for the first time, taking a break from a completely miserable house hunting trip. So much has happened (and changed) since that trip.

 

Just wanted to document Elsa's awesome purple outfit that day.

The boys and I picked up lunch from La Farm one day and enjoyed a picnic at Bond Park. Oliver was immediately drawn to the geese by the lake.

When the girls got home from school, it was sidewalk chalk time. I love our driveway. (Easy for me to say since I'm not usually the one having to frequently clean all the yard debris off the driveway. We're still discovering all the different bits of nature that fall from the trees at different seasons.)

Sad that I kept taking the chalk away from him. He LOVES to eat chalk.
