splash park

finally the heat broke yesterday and we could go outside without quite literally melting into a puddle and evaporating immediately. its been so hot so it was such a relief to be let out into the fresh air and sun.  we hit a nearby splash park in the afternoon and everyone had a lovely little frolic. i think the kids enjoyed having space to spread out and stretch their legs and curtis enjoyed watching the tree branches dance overhead while he laid in the shade and took it all in.

pretty serious water spraying action

lady bug on the swings. she tried out every. single. one.

chatting with bumpah and watching the leaves dance

freedom

deedee loves having her babies here. we went for a walk last night and she asked if she could push curtis in the stroller like a "real grandma"...poor deedee is heartbroken that japan is so far away from illinois. :(
