parks & recreation

i love going to parks.

i grew up 2 doors down from a park.

it was basically my backyard.

i spent countless hours there on the swings,

playing football/baseball/tag,

riding my bike,

breaking my wrist rollerskating 

(yes, i said skating)

today was a lazy day.  

little man was up late late late last night,

and asked for his nap a bit early.

it threw off our schedule.

so i proclaimed it "park day."

peter hasn't been able to play with jason at the park yet, 

and it was so fun to see them play.

luckily, the rain held off, and the weather was warm.

well, warm-ish.

you'll find no pictures of kayla.  

she slept. the entire time.

hopefully by may, when the weather is nice,

she'll join her brother on the swings.

 when did you get so big, little man?

this picture is totally screaming teen angst... 

 the plane!  the plane!

this week will be full of extended family...

aunts/uncles/cousins are flying in starting on tuesday and are staying through sunday.

it's been a long time since all of the kliff cousins have been in the same place at the same time.

it's sad that we have to see each other under these circumstances.
