Fun with Arboretum Cows, Ducks, and Ice Cream!

Whew! What a fun morning. I took the boys to a little park in our Arboretum area. We met my MOPS group, played with the cow statues, played in and around several fountains, fed the ducks, geese, and turtles, had a picnic, and ate ice cream. The Prince did a great job of listening and I moved him to SUPER STAR when we got home. He listened and stayed near me. The Knight's behavior was another story. He was everywhere! My goodness. I put 8000 steps on my pedometer just chasing him around the park. Thank goodness the Prince was good! There were three other Moms there with their kids. They brought 2 kids each so there were 8 little "rug rats" running around the park. It always amazes me how quietly other people's kids play. Not mine! Mine talk and yell and run and jump and are just very active. Wow! There were two other 2-year-old boys there today. They both sat so nicely and didn't run away from their moms. The Knight ran away several times and he is getting fast! It is a good thing that there were stairs to slow him down! When I yell at him to stop, he just starts to giggle and runs faster. I will add some pictures. I am not sure why the pictures started posting smaller. I choose "medium" size or "large" size and yet the pictures post small. I re-booted, so let's see if that helps. :) Yippee! It looks like re-booting worked. You might be asking why the Knight was not as well represented in these pictures as the Prince. Well, it was because I was either carrying him or holding his hand while snapping the pictures. I took lots of photos today. I think the day is documented well enough! The Princess will be home from school in about 10 minutes. When DadOf3 gets home, it will officially be the weekend. Thank goodness. I am ready for a nice nap with the kids tomorrow afternoon.
