Park time, Picnic Time

We met some friends the park last Friday since Daddy had to work.  It was hot, but the kids had lots of fun.  Rachel's favorite was the rocks, and Zane was all over.  I think he liked having a friend to play with!

 We've had lots of rain recently and these flowers have been popping up in the yard.  I read somewhere they are called Copper Rain Lilies.  They are so pretty.

 Getting some reading in on Saturday before Daddy left for work.  Rachel is really getting into books, which makes me happy!  And she definitely has her favorites!

 We got to go visit some great new friends on Saturday and when we came home it was close to lunch time but I was sad that the kids hadn't had time to play outside.  So, I made a quick picnic and we went out to eat in the heat.  And it was hot.  I put the umbrella up in the treehouse, but it didn't really help because there was no breeze.  So, we moved to the concrete in a better wind area and had a slightly cooler time.  Zane ate really fast so he had fun driving around on his mower and swinging by for an apple slice or a cookie and then he was off again.  Rachey was concerned about Zane and his not drinking water, so she'd have to get up to tell Zane to drink water and then go back to her spot and eat some more.  :)

Constantly keeping an eye on the neighbors!  :)
