5.18.2011 Picnic at the Park

There is a park near our house that I love to go to. We have been many times before, and you have seen pictures of this park several times, but every time I go I take a million pictures, and I am just CERTAIN you want to see them. This particular evening we packed a lunch and had a picnic at the park. This was the second PB&J of the day for Eli, so he was THRILLED to be eating 'out'.
I asked Eli to smile, and he gave me this silly little pose. Cutie :)

It is so beautiful here!

A bit of the wild life. I swear this bird was posing for us.

So sad this picture is out of focus :( Leah also enjoyed our park adventure.

Eli suddenly became enthralled with the wheels on the stroller...which makes actually rolling the stroller a little challenging...

Some more animal life.

Eli chasing a squirrel...

'Where did he go?' Eli always calls the squirrels he sees 'Jumpy squirrel' which is what they call the squirrel on Curious George. It's funny to hear him squeal 'Jumpy Squirrel!!'

Playing at the playground after our walk.

A few pictures of Leah :)

'What is this green stuff?'

Heading back to the car.

I really wish we had had more picnics at the park earlier in the year when it wasn't so hot. Now it seems way too hot to try it....plus the bugs at dinner time by the river are terrible. Oh well...

...we have a little wildlife in our own front yard ;)
