Sunday (2/8/09) was such a gloriously beautiful day!!! Dustin and I could not bear to sit at home on such a wonderful day. We decided tbat we would get ourselves a picnic and go to the park! We packed up all of the various and sundry items that are required to take two kids and prepar for a picnic. We went to the playground where Leyland had a ball climbing up and down the apparatus and sliding down. Each time she went down she would yell "WEEEEE". It was so cute. I can't believe how big she is getting. We decided to walk down to the "beach" area beside the lake and let Leyland play in the sand. This is where the tables and grills are also. We discovered upon arrival that our hamburger meat was still frozen.... FAIL (for you Kate). So we aborted the picnic plan and went down to play in the sand. For those of you who don't already know, Leyland is a bit of a klutz... she gets that from me. She fell in the sand because she was pretending it was snowing (throwing sand in the air). She saw some other kids walking in the "surf" and decided she had to do that too. I was going to do it with her, but I swear to you the water was like 2 degrees. I couldn't do it. I tried to discourage her, but she absolutely had to walk in the water. ( she had on her new shoes and I didn't want her to run out there anyway and get them wet). I rolled up her pants and removed her socks and shoes. I let her walk out just a bit, the she got brave and wanted to let go of my hand. When she did she immediately walked out so deep that the bottom of her pants got wet. then.... I saw this all in slow motion.... she teetered, she tottered, she lost her balance, and FELL IN!!! She whimpered a little and said "Mommy I wet and cold!!". I could not help but laugh. It was so funny. I will include a video of immediately after. That is all I have for now. I intend to blog more often, but it seems that everytime I have something to write about my mom has already written about it, and usually better than I could've. Anyway, I'll work on getting a more interesting life ... haha just kidding. Well, I hope everyone enjoys the videos from the park !
