Ducks at Play


Last week on my day off we planned an outing to a neighborhood pond. As we were getting ready, I told the boys to go brush their teeth and comb their hair. I knew they were being too quiet. When I arrived in the bathroom, Keaton had fixed is own hair with gel and was working on Cort's. I had to wipe out some of the excess gel from Cort's hair. I think they used every product I had in my basket. But the end result was cute.

Keaton's crazy hair


We took food to feed the ducks and turtles


And the ducks were hungry


As we were waiting for our friends to arrive, Keaton and Cort walked alongside the pond and the ducks followed.


Gage didn't want to miss out on the fun


We brought cut up apples, lettuce, and carrots for the turtles. We brought bread for the ducks. The turtles just wanted to eat the bread. Guess they were not in the mood for veggies.


After the ducks and turtles were full we played on the adjoining play ground.


After we left the duck pond, I ran by the dollar store to pick up some supplies for an afternoon project. Only I discovered the play center next to the dollar store was now open. We had been waiting for it to be finished for over a year it seems. Of course we had to check it out!

Indoor sandbox filled with moon sand.
COOL!
And a mess I don't have to clean up!

The design is very cool. It is sectioned off for different areas of imagination play.

Pirate Cort loved to play dress up. He is front of the puppet show room.

Fireman Keaton and Cort found a Policeman friend. There is a fire station pole for the kids to slide down and you can see some of the slides in the background.

The maze

The kids had a great time on this super hot day. Special bonus it was indoor play with A/C!! I am glad to have another option to take the kids besides Pump It Up. I am even keeping it as a possible birthday party location for Cort next year.
