Life is a picnic in the park!

Yesterday we headed up to Look Park in Northampton, Massachusetts for my work party. We had such a great day! The weather was absolutely wonderful and the park was great! This was only the second time in all the years that we have lived here that we were there. This was our first time bringing Tyler and because of him we were really able to see what the park offered!
Across the street from where our site was, there was a baseball field. Tyler had a great time hitting pitches, fielding balls, and sliding into home plate!
After lunch, Ty put on his bathing suit and visited the sprinkler park with all the other kids. All of the mom's and dad's were really wishing that we also had our bathing suits on-- it was really hot in the sun!
On the way back from the sprinkler park, we stopped and showed daddy the frog we spotted earlier in the day. We kept hoping he would jump for us, but he never did! I guess he was happy and content in the cool mud!
Later in the day, we took a train ride around the park. Tyler made a new friend yesterday, Kenny, one of my staff's boys. They had so much fun playing Frisbee, baseball, and hide-and-go-seek! We were happy that we were able to sit and relax for awhile as they played together! Thanks, Kenny!
The train drove us by the zoo, so we had to stop in and take a look. Tyler made friends with a goat-- they were about the same size! We also saw Bald Eagles, a Peacock (who fanned his tail feathers), Deer, and a bunch of other animals! It really was a nice surprise to see some of the animals there!

At the end of the day, we made the trek back home, and Tyler fell sound asleep! Those little legs did not stop all day long. It really was a great day spent together and well worth the drive!

That park looks awesome! I'm glad that you had such a fun day. Aren't those sprinkler parks great? We haven't been this year, but last year we took Grace to the sprinklers at the YMCA and she just loved it.

I can't believe how big Tyler looks in those pictures! He is getting so big and handsome!

WOW! What a busy, busy day! I'm not surprised he fell sound asleep. Days like that are SO great for a good night's sleep. Did he sleep in the next morning?
