a fun weekend!

On Friday, Sarah & I along with good friends Kristin & Blythe & Madeline, Katie & Sam, and Ashleigh & Hutchinson went to the Pumpkin Patch playground. It's a 30 minute drive, but is SO worth it!! It's an incredible playground - and Sarah had an absolute ball. Slides are about her favorite thing right now, so we went from slide to slide. She's mastered the technique of leaning back and lifting up her feet to go faster. So while her little buddies didn't even want to go down the slide, she's trying to go as fast as she can! She loved going down the biggest slide hand in hand with 3-year-old Blythe.


Lately, we've been eating out with my parents a lot on Saturday evenings. Mom jokes that her kitchen is closed from 5pm Saturday through Sunday. I'm simply too exhausted from cross-country stuff Saturday afternoon to even think about throwing together dinner. It's been fun to spend the time with them. And Sarah adores Grams (or Bams as she says) and Pops. Last night we ate downtown, and then walked down by the river to show Sarah the boats. Some bigger kids were going down a steep hill on their bellies - which Sarah immediately decided she wanted to do and called it a slide! :) We could not stop laughing!!! The pictures aren't the best - it was getting dark and the camera had a hard time deciding what it wanted to do ...
