Park Hopping



Beautiful day, isn't it? Warm, but overcast... couldn't ask for more from the weather, can you?

OP is working overtime today, so I had to find a way to entertain these crazy chillens of mine. What was my grand idea? Park hopping. We've gone to three different parks so far (it is now naptime/ quiet time, we'll see if we go to more after), and it has gone suprisingly well. I did sneak in a visit to the book store and the fabric store, yeah me!



Porter perfected the art of going down the slides by himself, Adi ran from equipment to equipment like a monkey on speed, and Pipes was my little butterfly, doing whatever she felt like.

When I snuck to the fabric store, South Jordan was having their Harvest Days Festival. The girlies got their faces painted, but Porter was ready for a nap, so he chose to just scream (helpful, huh?).


I even took the kiddies over to my old elementary school to play. I sat on the swings and pondered why they still had gravel in an elementary's playground (I also had memories of falling on said gravel when I was 6 and getting pebbles in my knee, which my grandpa kindly offered to get out with his pocket knife)...

*please forgive my lack of pedicure... I am a mother of three, afterall!

I let the girlies dress themselves today- frankly, I get tired of the arguing over outfits!


We had Taco Bell at the park for lunch and Porter got to experience dipping his food for the first time... he leads such a sheltered life!

And my favorite picture of the day....

I think that this one is wall-worthy!

Saturdays sure are a lot harder when your husband isn't there, but good for you for making it a day to remember.

Oh, all those pictures are adorable... I think they are all wall-worthy. Of course they would be with such beautiful children, they can't take a bad picture even if they tried! I'm glad you guys had a fun day today.

You are such a good mom. It is nice to see we both have to find ways to entertain or else the kids tend to be caged animals!
