Happy Day of Love

For fun this week, we had a valentine's party at the park nearby with friends. There was plenty of sugar for consumption and lots of other fun things to do. We were there so long, we got minor sunburns on our necks! Oops. :)

Here are my boys at the cookie painting/decorating station. The kids had some fun frosting and putting on sprinkles on cookies. Trainboy made a big collection to take home while Dinoguy made 2 and ate them right then.



We also had card making with markers, crayons and lots of cute love themed foam stickers. A few of the kids made a lot of cards for friends at the park, relatives, stuffed animals at home while others made one or two and headed off to do more important things like play!








Here we have the kids playing in the creek/rocky area near a bridge. This is one of my boys favorite exploration areas, and a great reason to bring entire changes of clothes to the park. Thank goodness it was about 60 degrees outside!









There was a big sandpit sometimes referred to as a volleyball court, and one mom brought a big bin of sand toys to play in. I did not get a great picture of the kids playing in the sand though you can see it in the distance of this picture of Trainboy riding a bike! He has just recently learned to peddle so quickly on his tricycle, and transferred the ability to this bike quite easily.






We also fed the ducks a little, though I mostly chased them away from our snack & crafts tables. We had such a wonderful time at the park playing and doing crafts and snacking, we did not want to head home. It was inevitable that little boys need naps though and he was asleep within 2 minutes of leaving the park.
