Park Season.

Picnic at the park. Today.

It's funny how the calendar page turns and the sun all of a sudden is warmer and brighter. Park season has begun and we're hoping it stays around through October, like last year.

It's the first request when they awake and the last when they go down.

Will we go to the park?

So we do, in between grocery trips and school afternoons, between bill paying and homework, we find, or maybe we make, the time we didn't have before, to go to the park.

Baths have become a nightly ritual again and we've already eaten through our first box of popsicles.

H has already been begging, pleading, hoping that one of these days it's warm enough for water balloons and the slip 'n slide and of course his pool. He doesn't quite understand that even though there's no snow, the sun is shining, the temperature hasn't quite hit what it needs to hit to make it all happen.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this summer.
