Soon arrived today. Early. Let me repeat that. EARLY. Despite being up for several hours in the night, Channing was standing in the doorway, undressing himself and declaring, 'Me need a shower now. Get up mom.' closer to 6:00 than 6:30. [groan] We were showered, dressed and out the door shortly after 7, a picnic breakfast in hand.
We were alone in the park on this beautiful summer morning. The park benches, swings and slides were still very wet with dew. It didn't stop Channing from climbing right into the mouth of a hippopotamus or navigating the 'rock' stairs. When I suggested we see where the path goes, he took off like a shot, running ahead and excitedly exclaiming, 'Amazing! It's amazing!' Not far into our adventure, we came to a bridge. After peering down from above, we veered off the path and found the perfect bend in the creek for skipping stones, wading and trying to catch minnows.
We had a long 'to do' list this morning keeping our park visit short but sweet. We've vowed to come back again though. Soon.
