Out for a walk

Boy, when Papa mentioned going outside today, there was a bunch of whooping and hollering going on. First we went over to see Uncle Alan, but Harper wasn't very interested in being inside for long so it was a short visit.

Then we went over to check out the stump and Ava was afraid to get up on it without help. Now it seems very high to her, I guess, even though it is probably only 3 inches high on the one side. Harper wanted to get on the swings, but they were all wet so we steered them towards the trails instead. They just love to run and toddle along, and they can get way ahead of us fast

and they didn't look too happy when we told them to come back the other way.

Papa picked up Auna and Parker today at the ice cream shop and bought them a smoothie and a milkshake for their "Big Papa" treat. I picked up Rielee and she wanted a "Big Grandma" treat (that really doesn't sound right to me, Big Grandma) so I bought her a Kid's meal since she was hungry and wanted a toy, too, but of course she got one she didn't want...Parker and Auna were peeved that she got a meal so I had to remind them of the times the 3 of us went to Panda Ex. in the past and Rielee didn't get to go along.

Tonight we'll watch the Rocket girls play at home against Kalama.
