Day of Fun

This Saturday we had Maddy and Carter with us. We decided we would go to the park and do a few other fun things. We ate lunch at home (peanut butter and jelly of course!). Then we walked to the park. The park is about half a mile from our house. Then we played there for a while. Maddy and Carter loved the swings and slides. Isabella loved playing in the wood chips. She wanted to throw them and pile them up on the play equipment.

After the park we stopped by Marble Slab. Marble Slab is like a Cold Stone. They mix the ice cream on a marble slab. Maddy had cake batter ice cream with Oreos. Carter wanted strawberry ice cream with sprinkles.

After ice cream we walked back home. I had some stickers in my art cabinet that were Halloween stickers. They had pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and a few other things in them. So I let the kids do some art with the Halloween stickers.

After that I found some cornstarch in my cupboard and decided to let the kids play with goo. I had them put on a couple of old shirts of mine and let them dig into the goo. After that and a little clean up, their parents were here to pick them up.

Here are some pictures of the days festivities................

Maddy was really thirsty all day. I personally think she just wanted to drink out of the huge water jug we brought for them.

Climbing high. Carter squealed when he got to the top and he declared, " I am taller than everyone in the world!"The three kids playing side by side. And surprise...Maddy had the water jug!Isabella..our little sweetheart!Isabella likes these little spinning discs at the park. The kids kept shouting, "Higher Uncle Lou! Higher!"Isabella didn't really like the swings. She whined to get out.I think slides were their favorite part of the park. When they came down the slides they were full of static electricity. Lou got shocked more than once grabbing their hands when they came down.Maddy on the spinning thing.Maddy on the slide posing.This is a giant web at the park. Unfortunately the kids had on flip flops. So climbing around on the web just didn't seem safe. Carter on the spinning thing.Ice cream at Marble Slab. Cookies and cream and strawberry with sprinkles.Halloween art. Carter was proud that he had a blue ghost. He also had a matching blue haunted house.Maddy was very meticulous about lining up her stickers.Playing with goo. It's a mixture of cornstarch and water. They loved pouring it over their hands and watching it ooze out the bottom.More goo fun.
