Picnic Breakfast in the Park? CHECK!

So we've crossed one thing off our summer bucket list. One.

This morning we headed to a new-to-us park for some breakfast:







My Chesty McChesterson look is a total optical illusion. Not sure how that's happening. However, if you can see that slight purple streak in my hair that is, in fact, real. I have a few purple streaks these days courtesy of Lauren and Jason. :)

We had to take a slight break to hit up swimming lessons at the rec center near the park:


And then it was back to the park for some fun:







That thing Dalton is on is a nifty climbing structure. We've checked out 3 parks in the last week that we've never been to before and all 3 of them had some more unusual equipment that we don't see everywhere else.

We went out to a free dinner at Noodles on Saturday night and on the way home we decided to surprise the kids with a trip to a park:






This thing Easton is on here is something we've never seen at a park before:




I just love how Daddy's Girl is looking up at him here:

How they're looking at each other, really. Awwww. It's so sweet to see Jason with his little princess. He just adores his girly girl.

I'm not sure if I've seen a climbing wall like this just out at a park before. Obviously we've done a bit of climbing walling in our time, but I'm not sure if it's been in any parks:


Dalton came back to where Autumn and I were...he's becoming a lot more adventurous but still not quite the climber his monkey brother is:


See...he's getting there:






Another one of those ones where I love how she's looking at her ol' man:


An umbrella sort of tree we found. All 3 kids couldn't wait to get inside.




I remember going in a great hiding spot in a tree like that once and a giant hairy tarantula jumped on my chest. Needless to say, I stayed outside the cool tree fort and secretly wished my children had too. Oh well. :)

Pretty soon it was time to call it a night...bedtime was fast approacing.


And this is from the other morning when we attempted our picnic breakfast in the park last week:

Tomorrow we'll be crossing another item off our bucket list as well. We're making progress! Yay!
