Whew!

What a weekend. While the week itself seemed to drag on and on today we lived three Saturdays in one! The annual health fair was today along with a grand opening, of sorts, of the hospital's new wing. We stopped by there for a few freebees (including a Frisbee, much to Desmond's delight). We thought it was going to be warm so we headed to the park but it quickly got windy and threatened to rain. Never the less the boys traipsed up and down the stairs, swung on swings (still the favorite), went round the merry-go-round, down the slides and chased the squirrels (which are fairly abundant in the park). All in all a good trip to the wonderful, albeit a bit cold, outdoors. We ended our busy morning attending the annual free-lunch celebration at the local hardware co-op. And, if you are familiar with small town living, a free-food anything is as good as any social hour! =) Home we went for sleeping! Both boys are sick but having Dad home is medicine in itself. =)

Conquering the *big* slide.

Jaxter on the swing.

Balloons from the lunch - very exciting.

Playing in the dirt proper-like, with tractors and dump trucks instead of just hands.

I truly wish that this picture was of more than just toys but as I helped the boys with these great new bubble blowers my hands were highly unfit to handle technology. They had a blast with these gifts from Cousins Jacoby and Morgan! =)
