Just a swingin'

Well we finally got a reprieve from the rain for a day or two, so we took advantage and took the kids to the park. John made friends with a little boy, but since they couldn't understand each other when they exchanged names they just called each other "buddy" the whole time. It was really cute. He was such a little daredevil. He couldn't just go down the tunnel slide, he had to climb on top of it. He didn't use the handrails to hold on to, but rather scaled them and jumped off. He is going to break his arm one of these days! The girls took their first ride in swings and loved it! Natalie was laughing so hard every time I would push her.

Oh, and as of yesterday, we won't have to drive to the park as often. Look what Mike brought home!!!! I have been wanting a swing set for the last year or two, but Mike didn't want to take up too much yard space. But last week a friend of ours mentioned that his neighbor was moving and didn't want to deal with moving their swing set so we got a $1,300 swing set for $200!!! You can't really see in the picture but the back side has a rock climbing wall and there are monkey bars across where the swings are. Another friend of ours is giving us their baby swing that their son outgrew, so everyone will be able to swing at once! Woo hoo! Unfortunately due to the rain today John hasn't gotten to play with it yet...maybe tomorrow.

Here are a few more pictures from the girls birthday party
