A Walk in the Park

Do you remember the little things we did as a family?

Sunday lunches at the hospital,

Summer vacations to grandparents in Michigan,

really bad haircuts ...

need I go on?

This Saturday, we decided to enjoy the beautiful humid, mosquito infested summer air and Wisconsin weather with a walk in the park. The plan: summer stroll, bike ride, back to the house for ice cream and baths, off to bed. It was nearly perfect. It began as a quasi-bike ride/short stroll. Daddy recommended a new park in town. One that is fairly secluded, minimal traffic, and perfect for a walk/bike ride. All it is, is an oval around a man made pond ... What could possibly go wrong?

The air was clear

The smiles were abundant

The bikes were fast

Sweetness filled the air

The water was calm

A duck, swims unassumingly

The setting was serene

Ahhhh. We all remember a day of skipping stones ...

.... and little boys?

Ahhhhh yes, a quiet serene evening, cut short by the screaming panic sounds of a two year old boy, dunked completely.
