Today for our play group get together we had a picnic & playground date! We packed up our picnics and kids and headed to a nearby neighborhood to eat lunch and then let our kiddos run wild on the play ground. They had so much fun playing and the mamas had just as much fun chasing them around and visiting. Owen was so excited that he could hardly even eat. While the rest of us were trying to finish lunch, he kept taking off running towards the slides. I kept having to run after him, scoop him up, and bring him back. He just wasn't having it! Finally I gave up trying to chase him down and just let him run wild (with me following closely behind him of course!) The weather was absolutely beautiful--the perfect day for a picnic play date! We are so blessed to have a great group of friends in play group. It is so fun watching them grow, learn and interact with each other. Here are some pictures from our big day...
My busy, busy boy!
He was crawling in the tunnels...
...swinging on the swings...
... and climbing up the stairs!
Sky high!!! He loved it :)

Luke had to go home a little early to take a nap so we're missing both he and his mama, Karen, but here's the rest of the group playing in the sand box :)
