Picnic At The Park

It was Thomas' first trip to the park, and his first picnic. He didn't seem to thrilled, but my big girl was!

It is so hot today, and I couldn't waste such a nice Friday, so we changed Gracie's school clothes and packed a nice lunch (added by 2 hot dogs and M&M cookies we stopped and got from the 7-11).

Gracie decided to eat first, but like most kids she didn't get much down before she was off to play.

As for Thomas he had his lunch too, and then he kind of laid around. Although, it wasn't without its excitement since he reached and grabbed one of the toys in front of him. Believe it or not that is a skill and I am super proud of him.

While Thomas was finding his toys, Gracie found some school friends. While we were there Kendall was also there with his little sister. Gracie played with him for a long time until he had to go. Then she made some new friends until she saw Jackson who is also from her class.

After an hour and a half her cheeks were so red, and I didn't have to convince her too hard that it was time to go.

I am glad we went, and I hope that we will make several more trips. I have noticed that I have been leery of doing all those fun things I loved doing with Gracie with both of them. I am not scared of Thomas getting hurt or anything, it is just such a chore to take both of them anywhere, even the store! And since I am planning to take both of them by myself next weekend to Lynchburg, here is hoping that I find some extra energy, strength, and tolerance :)
