Playing in the Park

We visited our favorite park this morning with Alex and her mom, Amy. Amelia immediately took an interest in the wood chips that cover the ground. Apparently, gnawing on them is a great way to relieve sore teething gums and pushing them into mini mountains is extremely entertaining. Graham saw the wood chips as something to conquer. He made it his personal mission to dig a tunnel straight through them that would lead him to the other side of the fence. Thankfully, his goal was not met. And Alex, had a great time exploring a new park and gently handing Amelia her prized wood chips when he hands were empty. Who would have thought that wood chips could be so entertaining???

And because the playing at the park and corralling three children for a picnic lunch wasn't quite enough for the Mommy's, we decided to head to Costco to pick up a few quick things. All three kids were pretty tired from a morning of activity, but thanks to pretzel rods and bribery, we made it out of the store without incident.
