Every day we all go out on a little adventure ... It is quite the entourage really and involves many bags and snacks and bottles of water. Then there are the numerous bathroom stops and locating moments and not to mention a few girly arguments that cause me to almost yell out " Do you want me to pull over ?"
We have Sophia's friend Ana for the summer and on occasion she invites a few more. There are days that I am convinced that somewhere on this journey to exhaust them ... I have completely lost my mind.
And quite honestly the only one exhausted it yours truly...AKA, the Senior Citizen.
Poor Jakob is out numbered and lets it be known how annoying it all really is.
And Silas ... well , he truly hates the car ride and tends to scream the entire time.
So Imagine driving a van full of children...several of them spatting about who touched whose leg first. Loud baby screams for what seems like an eternity while Green Day is bellowing out of the speakers while Jakob explains to me why Japanese Cartoons are much better than American ones...
So today we went to the park. I had attempted to take the crew to this really huge cool wooden wonderland in New Hartford while we were there ... but the entire place was wrapped in orange construction fencing.. that was fun to explain.
So we came home had lunch and went to a local park. I used to take Jake and Sophia there when they were both Silas's age .... lots of flashbacks :)The only thing missing were the Dandelion Fields as the grass had just been mowed. I always took pictures of the kids in the fields every summer as they grew .. those are my favorite pictures of them :)
So I found a little patch of simple yellow flowers and took some pictures of Silas ...I just love the simpleness of his feet in the background. Kind of up in the air while he tries to figure everything out. So sweet ... Until he decided he hated the grass and let loose his lungs:) It was very sweet while it lasted though...glad I had the camera :)
