time at the park

a couple of days before christmas, we took a day trip to see brian's grandparents, aunts, and uncles. it is always a wonderful time with them! brian's grandparents live down the street from a little park, and after we've been there a few hours, it's nice to let the kids get some energy out (and let his grandparents have a moment of peace and quiet!). this picture cracks me up... brian is giving me the look that says, "put away the camera and help me with these kids!"


crossing the road... i wanted to yell, "make way for ducklings!"


my kiddos had fun hanging, swinging, climbing, running, jumping, and riding...




brian loves his uncles. here, he and uncle joe find a few quiet minutes to visit.


this picture is for kristie's dad. :)


swingin' cousins!


christmas craziness with the family to come....
