One night this week we headed over to University Park for the annual Summer Thing event put on by the Parks Department. It features free crafts, projects, games, bouncy houses, and activities for kids - all on a gorgeous summer night.
Haley decorates a light switch cover for her newly-painted room.
Jake and his friend Maggie wait for their turn in the bounce house.
No surprise, Jake loved the fire hose. He was not timid at all and wowed us with his aim.
Future firefighter? Better eat more spinach, kid!
Haley takes a break from crafts to try out the fire hose too.
Haley remembered this one from last year - a big plastic tunnel that has a fan at one end; the kids can decorate it with paint.
Jake is into serious speed these days - rockets, race cars, superheroes, you name it. This is his "Gentlemen, start your engines!" pose....
... And he's off!
This is a beautiful park and Haley wanted me to take some "fancy" pictures of her.
This is what I got when I asked Jake to let me take some "fancy" pictures of
him.
Sometimes the candids are better than the posed ones...
Haley glides along the grass, lost in her imaginary "fairy" world. The kids are so fun at these ages.
