Playing {nicely} together!

I can't say how much fun it is for me to see and hear my kids playing {nicely} together. As I type, they are {nicely} playing 'camper'...you know, it's just like playing 'house' but in a pretend camper instead!
Not exactly sure where that came from, but it is making me chuckle!

Grant is busy barking orders at Tootie.
It goes a little somethin' like this:
"That is your bed, this is my bed"
"I'll do the job, Audrey"
"Here is your milk, Honey"
"Now it's bed time. No, it's not snack time. I said it's bedtime!"
"Wait, come back in the camper!"
"Don't step in the hot laba!" {aka: lava}

The pictures on this post are from playing at the grade school park in town a couple of weeks ago.

The kids really love going to different parks to explore and play...

You, know...{nicely} together!

Grant really got a kick out of this climbing wall. And I loved that it was clear plexi-glass so I could get some cool pictures of him on it!

There was lots to see and explore. Like this rocking rocket.

There was also a little monkey bar climbing to be done.

And this metal bouncing thingy!

Geez, there sure are a lot of different things at parks now-a-days. When I was little, I think all we had was monkey bars, a slide and a swing set at our playground.

Speaking of swings. Look who was just a swingin'!

{Pay no attention to the strange shadow figure you see in the next two pictures. I have no idea who would be strange enough to stand like that just to get picture!}

One really cool thing they have at this playground is a huge sandbox. They even had these cool digger thingys.

Grant even learned a magic trick while we were there.

Now you see him...

Now you don't!

There was also a little climber thingy {seriously, how many times can I say thingy in one post!} in the sand box that the kid loved too.

Peek-a=boo! I see you!

After much sand play, there was some sand-in-the-shoe dumpin' that ensued!

Well, at least for one of the kiddos. Audrey was playin' au-natural and going barefoot! Gotta love the sand between your toes. Actually, what I really love are those dimply hands. I am really going to miss those some day!

I am just plain going to miss play time with these kids when they get bigger.

{snif, snif!}

I love that they are best friends. I am really going to miss that some day.

I also just love their cheesy, silly, innocent, lovin' life little personalities.

And finally, I simply love to see them playing {nicely} together!

It's much easier on the ears, you know!
