Back to the Park-a-day

It took long enough, but it seems like we've finally come to the time of year where the weather has been nice and we can get back into our "park-a-day" routine. The past few days we went to the "little Pirate Park"(Gorge Rowing Club), the "far away Pirate Park"(Gyro Park), Saxe Point Park, and Colville Park to watch Troy play some ball.Ethan is still consistently disappointed when we are by ourselves, "Deres no KIIIDS ta play wif!" or if kids are leaving the park after we have gotten there, "NOOOO! Dohn go... awww... "(to parents trying to round up their kids), "... more kids will come soon (nodding head at me)".
Beckett is just excited when I let him out of the backpack or stroller to sit on the ground and play or go for a ride in the swings. He is so easy to please. He just worships his big brother and watches intently what Ethan and his dad, or Ethan and the other kids are up to. He is taking inventory, and can't wait to get in the games.

Sometimes Ethan acknowledges him and makes him laugh or talks to him or hands him toys and you can see his face light up and his eyes turn into little sunrise shaped slits because he is smiling so much. I guess Beckett is more fun now that he is getting older - or at least turning into a semi functioning playmate.
