NC fall 2012 - part 2, the park and the pool

One thing about my grand kids, they are active little kids. Take them somewhere and they are OFF to the races. No sitting around. The girls can play quietly for quite a long time, and you put on Discovery Channel and the cowboy is mesmerized, but get them outside or to the pool or the park and everyone is running and climbing, exploring and experimenting. I guess I used to have that kind of energy as well, as I can still remember "outside" with my two older brothers or some neighbor kids was definitely where I enjoyed being. And when I got old enough to be allowed to ride my bike far and wide, I was in heaven. I loved exploring by myself. We lived in an area that allowed some pretty far and wide bike riding. At least for a kid. 

The cowboy thinking OUT side the box. 

The tricky part was keeping an eye on D so he wouldn't copy. 

Lulu is much stronger than she looks. 

I think her swimming has given her some serious upper body strength. Impressive. 

Baby K playing, she likes to play. 

She also spent time over on the stage in the background. 

Baby K's imagination . . . I would love to spend a little time there someday. 

Baby D has been capable of doing this for a long time. 

This year it was SPEED he was going for. 

He asked me to "time" him and that boy can FLY across those monkey bars. 

Go Baby D!

We went to the pool twice while we were visiting. The kids enjoy some time there. They are so fun to watch cooperate and play, and then turn around and torment one another. Kids, ya gotta love 'em.
