Saturday, which is now yesterday, we got out and went to Columbia Park (4th time this week now!) so the kids could ride the bumper boats. Az had been asking for so long to do this and he finally got his opportunity. He got his own boat and Mark took Avi in another boat. We thought he'd be able to handle the boat and the height requirement of 4 feet was met...BUT it turned out to be rather traumatic for him. I don't think he really understood how to control the boat and people kept bumping into him, after all, that's what it's all about! Anyhow he was panicked and Mark told the lifeguard that Az needed to get out NOW. So the guy hopped up on the side and saved him by bringing him back to the deck and Az was relieved to get down the steps to me and Liberty! I asked if he'd like to go again with Papa and he did, of course. I felt so bad for him out there. He's so big for his age and it's easy to forget that while he may be big enough or tall enough...he's still just a little boy and may not be mentally ready for whatever it is that he's physically ready for. I hope that soccer will turn out better for him than the bumper boats! So, he went again and had big smiles and fun the second time around...as a passenger. Photo evidence below!
After Col. Park we went to our wonderful library and returned our 100+ items for 100+ MORE items for the upcoming week. We got some cool shows and TONS of books. I picked out all the kid books (as usual) while Mark hung out with Liberty and the kids played on the library computer they have set up in the children's section. We overfilled two baskets and made our way home with fresh, new reading material.
We got a book that the kids, and Mark LOVE...I plan to read it today with Avi since she's begging me as I type to read it to her. It's called: "The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales". The art is GREAT and I'm excited to read it today. I think it's Avi's new favorite book and one we may have to BUY. Here are the story titles: Jacks Bean Problem, Giant Story, Jack's Story, Cinderumpelstiltskin or the girl who really blew it, The Tortoise and the Hair, The Stinky Cheese Man, Chicken Licken, The Princess and the Bowling Ball, The Really Ugly Duckling, The Other Frog Prince, & Little Red Running Shorts. It does neat things with fonts and text sizes. Cool kids book.
OK...baby is having a fussy day. Maybe she's not well?! I must go and get in the shower as we have lots planned for today...mainly cleaning and mowing and shopping, OH MY!
Oh, by the way, for those who aren't aware, you can click on the pictures to see them bigger if you so desire.
More another time...have a blessed Sunday!
Next week we try a new church out but today we are staying home.
