Yesterday was an impromptu day at the park, and it turned out to be so much fun! It was one of those times when I was really loving my kids. Darla took a morning nap, so we didn't get started until after 11am. I had to run to Target, so while in the store, Derick said to me, "Let's have a picnic!" I thought, why not? So, we headed to nearby Coulon Park. We picked up some Kid Valley yummies (had a gift card left over from X-mas) and headed out to the end of the dock to watch the water and eat. While we were there,
a male Mallard duck came by to see if we had any food for him. It came pretty close to us and Derick and Darla had a front row seat. I had fun sharing my small amount of Duck knowledge with D-man. Derick was pretty excited about this close encounter, and watched the duck swim away with all kinds of great questions. Then, we went for a quick walk around the park and spent some time playing at the beach. Derick loves the sand and water and forgot all about the playground until it was time for us to leave! On the way out, we got to see a train moving on the tracks near the
entrance to the park. This MADE Derick's day. It was all he talked about on the ride home and couldn't wait to share his news with Daddy, who was working from home. Then, he slept soundly for two hours! Fun times. For all of us!
