A Really Wonderful Day.

Yesterday......yes I am doing it again, talking about stuff from 24 hours ago, we had one of the most fun days we have had in a while. In honour of National Adoption Day our group always has a get together and this year was no exception but it was a skating party and since Rosie Posie is just a bit to little to skate and our friend Hollis is under strict instructions from her doctor to stay off of ice skates, at least for now, we decided to have a miniature group picnic with just our 2 families to honour this auspicious day.

We choose a lovely park and packed up enough food and drinks to sink a battle ship and loaded the cars with bicycles, balls and other fun things and headed off for a day of outdoor fun. The weather was great and we just had loads of fun. The kids did what kids do and played their little hearts out. The only downer of the day was the manic park attendant who for what ever reason kept an extremely beady eye on our group and kept reminding us that there was no alcohol allowed in the park, we didn't have any, he needed to know if we were part of a group, we were not, no smoking, we were not on fire, the kids were not allowed to do this or that...basically he was a pain in the arse but he probably had nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon so we tried really hard to ignore him. Jacob was getting pushed to his limit by him but I am a peace maker so I unruffled him cos my hubby isn't very tactful.

Here are some pictures that will tell the story of the fun that was had.

And we did some bike riding.


We also played ball for a while but somewhere along the line the camera got forgotten but the memory of yesterday will not because again it is just a testimony to the wonderful friendship that we have built through adoption. Hollis, I don't know if you read this blog or not but if you do we want you to know how very much you and your family means to us and how much we love you all. It was a spectacular day and my girls were both fast asleep shortly after 7.30 even though they both swore they were not tired and both begged to go back to your house as we left the park. This park was only 15 minutes from our house and 50 minutes from yours! Rosie asks for you and Grandma Grace at least once a week and you know she doesn't ask for anyone.
