Of all things...

Today we went to an awesome park with Lacey and Riley. Lacey brought hamburgers and we brought chips and grapes to have a fun little picnic. X grilled the hamburgers and they were yummy! This park that we went to, LaFortune Park, is probably one of the best parks here in Tulsa. There is a 3 mile walking path, a little stream, grills, cabanas, a bunch of swing sets, a sand pit, and 3 different play things with slides, etc. This park is probably just about every kids dream park. There is so much to do here, and of all things our two little boys, Riley and Chase, decided that it would be more fun to play in the ash from a grill and in the nasty, sludgey, mossy water. I guess boys will be boys right? I think the boys had more fun playing in the ash and nasty water than they would have had playing on the slides. By the time we were ready to go the boys were soaking wet and dirty. As you can see Riley has two different outfits on in some of the pictures. That would be because he got so incredibly wet in his first outfit so I loaned Lacey an extra pair of shorts I had. In the first picture in the top left corner is a picture of Riley's jeans after playing in the ash. They were having too much fun in the ashes. Chase would get handfuls and dump it on Riley's head and Riley would just smile and act like nothing was going on...as Lacey and I stood on the side and laughed. Then, they decided it would be fun to run through the water, mind you this is like nasty run off water from the stream. They had so much fun jumping in the water, throwing the leaves, and riding their vehicles through the water. These two little boys are definately two peas in a pod!

That is so great that Chase has found someone who loves dirt as much as he does! It still amazes me how little boys are drawn to the dirtiest, nastiest things around!

CUTE! I wish that I was young again and could play aimlessly for hours without feeling guilty for not getting a hundred different things done! Do you remember Meadow View and Lance, Logan, Lauren and Kyle and Lauren C.? Those kickball tournaments and night games. Life was never better than those days!

It's rather miraculous that neither Riley nor Chase ended up with a massive fungal infection, considering the yuckiness of the water they were playing in.
Hope you guys are having fun on your vacation.
