An Afternoon of Fun!

Last Thursday, I declared our afternoon a day of fun! You see, we aren't really morning people at my house! The girls get up early, but I like to relax and enjoy time around the house, get things picked up, start laundry, and make the beds…. I also like to make sure that Adalyn gets her naps in! So, after all of that was done on Thursday, and the girls and I made banana bread muffins, we headed out for some fun!

I knew that Meggie would fall asleep in the car, and would be ready for some adventures when she woke up! We actually had to take the muffins over to a friends house, and on our way, Gretchen asked if we could go to the park. I started thinking about which park we would go to, and I knew that DJ would be working late again, so we decided to stay in Bixby and head over to a park I had heard about, but had never been able to take the girls to.

The park had this massive climbing structure with three slides. 

And the girls loved playing together!

They crawled,

and climbed.

Gretchen wanted to pretend like she was in jail!

The park also has a a splash pad, but we didn't have our swimsuits. I let the girls run through when they were getting too hot, but told them that they couldn't get soaked.

Meggie loved being sprayed by the water!

Gretchen climbed on a "rock."

And then we all swung in the swings.

Adalyn was hanging out in the ergo, and I sat down to swing with her. She laughed and laughed! (Even though it looks like she's sleeping!)

The park also had a swing for handicap children, and I thought that was pretty neat, and so did my girls!

After the park we went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner!

We ran into a girl who did some babysitting for us, and enjoyed catching up with her! The girls played in the play structure and then I bribed them out for ice cream!

Addy sucked her thumb while her big sisters ate their ice cream.

I looked over and just loved sweet Meggie licking her ice cream cone! I don't think we've actually let her have ice cream in a cone before. She really had no idea how to eat the cone part, but she loved licking out the ice cream.

When we got home our neighbors were outside so I let the girls play for another 45 minutes and then we went in for baths and bed!

We had such a fun afternoon! It was total spontaneous, and the perfect little pick me up for a summer afternoon!
