The little boys...

While we waited at the end of the parade route for the big kids, Ollie and Eliot played on the playground..

being cute

sad he didn't get to march

the allure of the playground wins him over

determined to keep up with the older kids' climbing skills!

he runs with determination! 

Playground fun

Had some fun at the playground today!

happy baby!

he's really into climbing now...

Action pose!

keeping up w/ the big kids!

Bruce's action pose!

snow fun

A few, um, weeks ago, we had a lot of snow, so we went to the playground

purple and pink style

Brucie gets ready to clear the slide off

nice landing pad of snow

that slide is alot faster when its wet!

Ollie was just along for the ride

This boy is fall!

it's fall!
and this best boy of mine knows how to dress for it (all on his own!)

The Red Playground

walking to yet another playground!

Behold: the "red" playground. a 5-8 minute walk away.
the bold red slide



the giant slide

Swings!!






this place gets MOBBED at night w/ crowds of pee-wee football parents and siblings so it is not as often visited as the (usually) peaceful yellow playground

The Yellow playground

This is the playground that just around the corner from our apartment. It's great

there's climbing



hanging








sitting around


and more climbing

bat poles





a spongy surface to sit and crawl on
and a bridge for socializing ;)


it's great! and oh so close

fun with mom

it was decided mama should take ollie down the slide from the top
then the other little monkeys decided to a train would be even more fun....twice ;)








and they were right, it was very fun (if not almost totally impossible for me to make the curve...with three helpers)
