Castle Parks RULE!

If I were a kid, I would want my mom to bring me here...

Wouldn't you want to play here???

This is the castle park at the elementary school in Holdingford...you know, this is the town with the infamous lunch ladies that won millions playing the Powerball lottery!

Well, their elementary school has a killer playground that the kids love to play on so we called up our friends, the Krumrei's and asked them if they wanted to take a field trip with us.

I brought snacks for those who just can't seem to get enough snackin' in a day...

And bubbles for everyone!

There were bubble blowers that were battery powered and lung powered blowers. And then there was the stupid doggie bubble blower that had it's batteries removed because it kept running and running, but didn't produce any bubbles. {Lets just say that Mr. Doggie found a new home in the bottom of our garbage can!}
We had so many bubbles that we invited the kids sitting at the table next to us join in on the fun.

Audrey thought the bubble blowing was the bomb!

The "big" kids were more interested in conquering the playground. Especially the high bar!

This is Julie...

She was designated as the "high bar lifter" (only because I was busy snapping pictures, of course!)

I think she got a little freaked out at how daring Peyton (her 5 year old son) was on the high bar.

That little sucker flipped right around like there was no tomorrow! I think Julie about had a heart attack {you can see her hands there waiting to catch him!}

Then, there is this little stinker!

He had to try his hand at hangin' from the high bar too! He wasn't quite as skilled as Peyton, but he sure hung in there!

Did your mother ever tell you that crack was bad for you? All crack except this crack, of course! If this little girl's ever-appearing butt crack doesn't make you "crack" a smile, I don't know what will!

Doesn't all of this playing make you wish you were a kid again?

As a kid, I used to love to climb. My mom used to say she thought I was part monkey and part bat because I would to hang by my feet from the stairs in our kitchen, when I was a kid (you'd have to see it to truly appreciate it...I literally laced my feet between two open steps and hung upside-down...and then I would attempt to drink water, eat, etc. Oh and whenever anyone new would come over, I just had to show off my extremely unusual talent!
Okay, so I digress.
Here are a few more monkeys I know!


Oop! There's that pesky crack again! Poor girl is NEVER going to get to wear a pair of low rise pants!

These two little buddies sure loved the tire swing.

And Tootie simply loves any kind of swing.

As a matter of fact, the majority of my time was spent pushing and pushing and pushing her in this...

But how, on Earth, could you say "no" to this face????

Or this one, for that matter???

You're right! You can't and neither can I!
