One Last Hurrah?

We spent what may have been the last nice day of fall* yesterday at a local park. I slaved all morning to prepare our organic, well-balanced, and oh-so-nutritious lunch (see McDonald's bags on picnic table) and we were off to play as soon as Chris got home from work.

We spent a lot of time on the swings, although we are not sure how much longer the boys will fit in the same swing. Soon we will be running back and forth between three swings, alternating pushes.

Ellie experienced her first underdog from Daddy yesterday. Okay, maybe it was a little bit more like a side-dog, if you want to get technical.

Check out these chompers!

Here's a little video of our swinging fun. Beware, this video is not for those who easily become motion-sick! :)

Of course, our trip to the park is never complete without a game of Pooh Sticks. For those of you not familiar with Winnie the Pooh, it's basically throw-your-stick-in-the-river-and-see-whose-goes-under-the-bridge-fastest. Always a good time. Then it was home for naps and we must have played hard, because Ellie actually took one!

*Yep, I am pretty sure that it was the last nice day. Today is cold (42 degrees!), cloudy, and rainy -- so are the next several days in the forecast. Sigh. At least it's not snowing yet.
