Kids + Sun + Park = Fun Sunday

Yesterday was a PERFECT Sunday (aside from the fact that Laura and I had a cold)! It was as hot as a pleasant summer day and we took the girls to a nearby park where we met up with some friends and their kids for a picnic. 

Gosh, I hadn't seen so many small kids in one place in a looooong time (other than in a preschool). 

Laura pretended to be shy at first, but was soon having the time of her life running all over the place, picking kapok fiber from off the ground, getting attention from one of the little boys (who exclaimed with glee: "She's so chubby!"), and being a regular tomboy. 

My girls are anything but petite, dainty, girlish creatures ... I wonder who they took after? ... sigh. 

Alina sat around being a grump for a while because there weren't any kids her age or size. Thankfully, she got over that and joined in on the fun (putting handfuls of kapok on sticks and pretending that it was cotton candy). She later exclaimed that it was the funnest day ever. 

After a nap and snack, we ended our glorious day watching Home on the Range (Alina's new favorite movie) ... such fun!

What joy!
