Parks

I can't remember a day this week that we didn't go to a park. That must be the life of a mom with toddlers. My mission lately has been to find a new park whenever we have the chance. Although some days I'm too tired and just need to call Laurie and head to the closest park between us. We have been to 3 different parks the last 3 days. On Wednesday I told her I had discovered a great little park off of Round Lake and Bunker; the girls and I had already been there 2 or 3 times. However, it wasn't as great as I made it out to be. When I pulled in a guy was smoking in the parking lot; ok, no big deal. Then a gruff looking guy came through with his dog not on a leash, which can be a little scary to some kids when the dog comes right up to their face (not my kids, any dog is small compared to Bella.) I also thought it would be fun for us to play barefoot in the sand, until I decided to step in some hidden cockleburrs, ouch. I hate those things! Emily even had one, luckily she didn't even act like it hurt. Then there was a random guy who came smoking and tramping through the park to the baseball field next to it, looked under first base, and went back to his car. Not sure what he was doing, maybe someone said they would leave some drugs under first base for him. Anyway, it's a nice little park for Bri but I don't think I'll be going back there. I did get some cute pictures one day, though. Here are a few:
