Two Kids, Three Hours and a Park

Garrett had his friends over last week for a birthday party. They wanted to, surprise, go to a park and play soccer. Carys and Anderson wanted to go as well. Garrett didn't really want to share his birthday time and bigger guy buddies with his little brother and sister so they got to be creative for the 3 hours we were at the park.

Here's how they passed the time together:

They climbed little trees:
Then they tackled bigger trees: They felt good about themselves after defeating the trees...................so they decided to move onto the playground equipment where they hung right side up....... ..........and upside down....................................and upside down.................................and.....well, upside down. They did some climbing................ ......................and a couple of different kinds of sliding.

They even got to play a little one on one soccer. Here you can enjoy Anderson faking Carys out with the ball, followed by Carys's steal and score which is followed by Anderson (the coach) giving it to me for paying more attention to filming than being the goalie. I love his simple question of......"Dad, why?"

The problem was he was shooting air. Nothing at all was coming out but he stayed like this two different times for about a minute each time. The kids thought it was hilarious. I think maybe he was, in some way, trying to impress his girlfriend.

Carys and Anderson were determined to not allow boredom to disrupt their three hours together. It was a fun afternoon.
