Lilly goes to the park

This afternoon we went to the park. My 10-year-old has decided that she's at that age where she's getting too old to really enjoy the playground. My 3-year-old has the most fun just running up and down the sidewalk and ramps pretending to be a car. Lilly seemed to just enjoy being outside and someplace new.

We've felt such freedom this fall to actually go out and do things. We really haven't done a lot as a family since Lilly was born. Since she was born she's had 3 major hospitalizations. There have been a couple deaths in the family. Lots of catch up with homeschool. And the weather hasn't been great for Lilly to be out. Too cold in the winter, too much pollen in the spring, and the summer was very very hot. But the weather lately has been perfect so we can go out and enjoy all those fall things outside and not have to worry or avoid them because of exposing Lilly to airborne germs. So this month has been really refreshing to us and much needed.

In the pond behind Lilly today we saw turtles, fish, and one catfish that was as big as Lilly!
