A Beautiful Day at George George Park

Saturday was just a beautiful spring day!! Shari and Mark came to visit again for the last time before they move. We decided to meet at the new park near our house so that the kids could play outside together. Shelley was in Arlington for the release of the book she illustrated, and Bob had to work, so we had the boys most of the day. The kids all had a great time and were even nice enough to "pose" for some pictures together. Usually it is hard to get them all in one picture because they are moving so fast!!

Shari and Mark with Esme' and Asher. Esme' was tired of pictures and wanted down. She was not happy about this picture. I took about five or six others, but she was crying in all of them. Everybody tells Shari that Asher looks just like her. It is still hard to tell, but he is certainly a sweet baby!

Esme' loves flowers and also loves to PICK them! She doesn't understand that all "fowers" are not to be just picked. This park has beautiful flower beds.

Two little angels - I love this picture!

We had a great time and the kids were very tired by the time we got ready to leave and go to lunch.

The park has a really nice play area for kids as well as a nice picnic area, cement paths for walking, bridges, fountains, ponds, and the river runs through it.
 

The little kids loved the swings and liked to be pushed. While Shari and I were pushing them, Grandpa and Matthew went for a walk by the pond where they saw ducks, geese, frogs, tadpoles, and birds. I actually got in a picture here - I'm usually the one taking them!
