Plan B

We tried to go to the splash playground on an early Saturday morning only to find after a major monsoon that it had broken and wasn't open. Bummer. The kids were really sad, so we walked around the rest of the largely new-to-us Brandi Fenton Memorial Park and found a really cool, fun playground to try out. I attempted to also catch some fun playground pictures, only to find that neither of the M & M's were willing to cooperate. What follows are the best shots I got (some actually pretty good!) as I tried to trick them, surprise them and catch them unawares. :O)

These pipes play like a xylophone when you bang on them hard enough!


A great shot of the Lightning McQueen shoes that Mom loathes (Dan claims they're just as ugly as my Crocs but I think they're worse!) but Michael adores them so what can I say? Someday they'll die, right?


Let's try it out together! That always makes things simpler!


King of the rock climbing wall


Not so sure about where she's gotten herself...


Maybe my favorite shot from the day


Trying to hide from Mommy's camera ~ but I found you!


RU-U-U-U-U-U-U-UNNNNNN!


Miranda was *very* interested in some tweeny girls who were braiding each other's hair, and she watched them from this perch for a long time.


A look of concern for a little boy who was very dramatic


And can I just close by saying that today I was *that mom* who wore her shirt inside out without knowing it to the grocery store because she was trying to do too much stuff on the way out the door and never noticed? My goodness!
