Johnson's Park

We are a park loving family! We try to go to new parks for variety. This park is in a friends neighborhood (our friends that no longer live there b/c they moved very far away). I know it has an official name, however we've named it the Johnson Park. Here are some photos to enjoy.











Hannah made a friend while there. Some girl that was 5 years old - that is all the info I was able to get from Hannah - they played tag and then started running all over the park chasing squirrels. They ran for such a long time. And you bet they went to bed very well. :)

Late night tennis anyone?

Joshua got the kids rackets that are their size.
We are the Crispin 7 Tennis Team!
Caleb just loves to hit the ball, so much I was unable to take a picture of him. :) He was all over the court.
Here are the girls playing:




After running around in the court they desided to run around at the park... busy little kids! Where do they get that energy? :)


Sarah was "flying" in the swing and Abrianna watched her intently. She then wanted off my lap and began doing the same thing Sarah was. Amazing!


A fun evening.

Grammy's Birthday Cookout

Happy Birthday to Grammy... Happy Birthday to Grammy... Happy Birthday to Grammy... How old are you anyway. :) Ok so I changed the song up a bit. :)
Cookouts are one of my mom's favorite things (watching my kids is her top favorite!) This park we are at has a dock for fishing. Caleb was looking very hard for fish that he could not see.


Abrianna, again, thinks she can do everything the other kids do.

The highlight was listening to the geese hong their way to our side of the pond and then be chased away by our kids.


This was Michelle's fist trip home since Sijah has been born. Some aunt bonding had to happen! :)

I love this sling! It is much more comfortable than the 'backpack' type I have had in the past. Sijah likes it too. He sleeps well in it and it keeps him warm on these chilly spring days.

At this park they have the 'death spinner.' No joke. The way it is made allows you to keep spinning by gravity. (My husband could explain it better) Hannah got on it and it kept spinner her and she got scared and couldn't make it stop and well, a little girls nightmare! Poor girl, when daddy rescued her she wanted to get back on it. I told Caleb and Hannah they could not play on it unless someone was with them to help stop it. Who would invent such a thing?


All of our children (as well as all the little children of the world) love to slide. Even Abrianna. Slides, now there was a good invention. Aunt Lindsey had much fun playing with the kids, even the big kids like to slide. :)




Caleb liked to hang out on the dock, he even made a friend. Some nice girl was walking around the park, I guess her age to be about 12, and she stayed with Caleb and talked about fish. Not sure how much she understood him... but they talked about fish and she tried to help him find the fish. Daddy said, "Oh no! Too soon to be making girlfriends at the park!"

Abrianna keeps us entertained. She played peek-a-boo with Grammy for awhile.

Our family! You can see Sijah's hand coming out of the sling.
