The Pond

We are really starting to have fun on our outings. We spent today at the Ore Pit Pond and the kids had a blast. I returned home with two very tired little ones.

Notice the construction in the background, they were very noisy for about an hour.  I basically forgot they were there when they were quite.

Donny spotted a group of four girls as they were walking toward the pond.  He was ready to make friends and went to the rock to scope out the situation.

Abigail decided she needed a nap.  She was on the blanket for about three minutes before she went back to play.

Everyone cleared out at lunchtime and the kids were so excited to be by themselves...for about ten minutes.

Donny made friends with this brother and sister.  Their father brought them ice cream, so Donny went to the cooler, grabbed himself a snack, threw a towel over his shoulder and started walking to the bridge.  The brother and sister followed and they all sat on the towel and ate together.  Donny was very nervous because the two kids were eating ice cream so close to him.  He would look at me and give me a thumbs up and then scoot back a little.
