Fun in the Park

The best thing about the week of the Fourth of July was that Scott took almost the entire week off! He had Tuesday through Friday off (and the weekend of course)! It was so great having him around so much! On Friday that week, we decided it would be fun to have a picnic in the park near our house. So we went to KFC and picked up some dinner and then took it to the park.

We ate dinner on our blanket, and then we had some fun with Alexander. Scott had yet to come to the park with Alexander and I (because we usually went while he was at work), so he had never seen Alexander on one of the baby swings. It was super cute watching the two of them together! After the swings, we took Alexander on the slides. The first slide I went on with him, was much faster than I expected! I even got a little scared because I was holding my little boy. I know...I am a wimp! Anyway, we took him on a more tame slide and then helped him slide down a smaller one. He loved the swings and the slide. Our dinner in the park was great and we even met a new family there who had a little girl close to Alexander's age. Below are some pictures of all our fun:

  

Our picnic in the park was lots of fun and we really enjoyed it! We plan to do lots more! The other day I went to my once a month Bunco group and won a huge picnic blanket! I am so excited for us to go again and to be able to use my new blanket! Well, that is all for now. Tune in next time for more fun adventures with the Richins!
