So Many Parks, So Little Time...

First off, let me say I know I've been bad!! It's almost been a week since my last post and so I apologize to all of my "faithful followers" for the lack of updates and pictures. I've once again been occupied with writing a new manuscript and have devoted pretty much every free minute to writing. I'll try and do better. :)

Now I need to try and remember what we even did last week!!.... The boys and I went to Antelope Park twice (I think) and then spent a morning with Auntie Ann at Trentwood Park (a great park that I don't think many people know about because it's kinda hidden behind houses). We took a nice walk through our neighborhood and pretty much spent every moment outside in the sunshine. There's lots of pictures, so I'm just gonna get right to 'em! Enjoy!

Oh, before I forget...In other big news, this past week Mr. Carson has officially mastered how to climb the ladder on our backyard jungle gym. It scares the hell out of me, since he seems to enjoy dangling from the top bar, but he hasn't fallen yet...fingers crossed!



Wrestling match.





Poor Carson...




Nolan wins!




Nolan made a campfire and lined up all of his "marshmallows" to roast. Actually were mom's cottonballs, but they worked perfectly.





Exploring at the sand and water table.





Poor Carson...his ear looks like that of the deformed guy in The Goonies (of course it's the slide, but still!).





Cute pic!!





Nolan looks so cute here!




Antelope Park.




Nolan was fascinated by the alphabet board.





Nolan's very skilled at the ladders...even these scary ones!




Following a bird.




We spend lots of our time underneath the trees.




Nolan's great find...a real bird feather!




Nolan said, "Look mom, I'm a bird sitting!"





Tough guys.




Carson was doing some serious swinging with this stick. Everytime I threw it, he would track it like a hawk and always bring it back!




This was a cute moment...Nolan and these boys were throwing leaves together and laughing.




I think he's studying an acorn here...not sure.




Nolan climbing the "mountain."




Walking through our neighborhood. It wasn't chilly, just really windy.





Love this face!





Carson saying, "cheeks!"




At Trentwood Park.





And the boys found a tree to climb...




Don't worry, no one fell out!




I love Nolan's expression here.
