Playground Days

This first photo cracks me up - take a look at Prince L's cheeks as he hits the bottom of the slide!  Ha!  I used to think his little cheeks looked like Droopy Dog when he was a baby, but as he grew older his face thinned out quite a bit.  I guess the cheeks are still there though, evident only when in motion!  :-)

One of our favorite things to do as a family is go to the playground.  Any playground.  Anywhere.  The kids are all at such different ages that their interests at the playground differ greatly, but they can all find something they want to do.  I love watching them climb, run, explore, and smile.  Oh man, do they smile!
Right now Prince M loves slides, especially really high, fast slides.  And running.  He'll run from structure to structure faster than his Daddy can keep up!

Prince L is in to climbing.  The higher the better.  It scares his Momma, but a boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do.  And everything he plays on the playground has some kind of pretend game attached to it, usually superhero or some kind of rescue worker.

Prince K is much more mellow at the playground these days, especially if there are other kids his age there. I think he's more conscientious of who is watching him. I am just reminded constantly of how quickly he is growing and changing! I love that he'll chase around his little brothers and look out for them, and stick by my side for more grown up company. 

Prince K and Prince L are usually not too far from each other at any given moment.  Often they are bickering about what the other should be doing, but mostly they are happily immersed in one of their games.  I love to watch them play!

And yes, even Hubby has to join in the fun.  Usually he's just chasing around Prince M, but sometimes he just wants to slide!  Ha!
