D found out that the kids have much more fun on the fitness trails at the park than on the playground . They run and run, there's not really anywhere for them to run off (they like to stay on the path), everyone gets to stay in the shade, and there are no swings to have to push. I brought my camelbak with a diaper stuck in the pocket, and D made fun of me right up until he realized we'd forgotten the diaper bag with the boys' water bottles. I'm going to disappear with the kids for a while after naptime so D can enjoy some golf in peace.
Later we're going to take a picnic (and a cut-up watermelon) to the
Music in the Park series at Forest Hill. It's a busy Father's Day!
