Time at the park

There are some days that just call our for having a little fun and today was one of those. Since it was a holiday, we worked all morning on chores because there just doesn't seem to be enough Saturdays to get them all done. But around noon we decided we just couldn't stay home any longer.



Luckily, our kids and grandkids had decided to take a field trip to the park to play with toys that work much better with wide open spaces than in the driveway or back yard. Tim had received a battery operated remote controlled airplane that needed some attention. It turned out to work surprisingly well even though the remote simply has one button. That button changes the normal easy left turn of the plane to a straight or even slightly right turn so that you can maneuver around obstacles. When the charge runs out, the plane soft lands so you hope you're on grass or sand. We were doing fine until we ran it into a tree and Tiffany had to climb up to shake it loose.


Tim also rode around in his quad, a present from Grandpa Miles. It goes surprisingly fast for a small vehicle so Tim knows to wear his helmet whenever he rides it. Jake brought along his big wheel tricycle so that he could keep up with the action wherever it was. It won't be long before he'll want to be riding the quad alone but for now he rides it with Mom or Dad.
