Brookswood Community Days

The weekend of June tenth the Rossis were in town again! We saw them so much this summer!

We took advantage of Dave and Alexis and stole their children.The first order of business was trying out the newly refurbished playground just down the street from us.

This has always been one of our favorite playgrounds. It has so many things for little children, medium children and even big, adult sized children.

This spring the city put in a zip line. ALL the kids were crazy to try it, but you know how it is when something new goes in somewhere. RIDICULOUS.

So we played on all the other things. Ada loves these spinny cup things.

And Ruben loves running up and down and all over the place. Wee toddlers are a lot of work yo. That is one thing I learned this summer. I might be too old for toddlers.

This is one of my favorite things here. Ruben didn't like sitting on it much, but he did love pushing the other kids.

Though he did let Elisabeth hold him on it for a while. We call this the donut. I don't know what it's really called.

We finally got to try the zip line. Ruben LOVED it so much. But I had to hold him and run like stink because he's too little to hold himself up. So no pictures. I got a lot of exercise :)

Then we went to Brookswood to see the community event. The littles got balloons made.

We used to go to this every year when the kids were little. It was pretty hokey, but the kids loved it. Now they've added so much more to it with bouncy castles and booths at the park. But everything was geared to older kids than Ruben and Ada and younger kids than David and Elisabeth.

But there were free snow cones.

My kids tried a few things. And then they did the extreme fighting which Ada thought was hilarious.

 And then finally it was time to go home.

Only we got side tracked by the cookies at Cedarvbrook Bakery - you got to ice them with your initials.

And then it was time to take Elisabeth to her dance pictures.
