After breakfast, I made a packable lunch and loaded the kids in the car. We didn't have any formal plans for the morning, so I decided to take them down to Piedmont Park. I used to take Eli all of the time, but Maddux has provided a little more of a challenge in large, open spaces of the like: she has no fear about being out of my sight. However, as of late, Eli has proved to be very good at keeping an eye on
me, allowing me to focus more on Mad Dog in such a setting. Given the amazing weather we've had this week, today seemed like the perfect day.
Especially since Lehr said he could break away for an hour to meet us for lunch. We walked up and down a few green pastures in the park before Lehr caught up with us, surprising the kids. From there we walked over to the newly renovated pool in the middle of the park. Amazing. Small lazy rivers, beach entry, and lifeguards. We will definitely be visiting during non-member hours sometime soon! The kids played around on the playground equipment for about thirty minutes before we walked to the picnic tables for some lunch.
Eli and Maddux (and Daddy) dined on PB sandwiches and dried fruit. Eli wanted to feed the squirrels, of course, who were hovering closer than they should have been. We chose to walk back to the car through the softball fields and 'retro' playground. Eli had a blast telling us which base was which, but Maddux started to get tired. Not that we were surprised; she had walked quite a distance up until this point. A few trips down the slide later, we walked back to our car and headed home. Needless to say, they are both napping as I type.
