School ended the other day. At least for my kids Frog and Monkey. Their grandmother was supposed to pick them up but wasn't able to get here on the time agreed.
I had already told their teacher's that they would be out the last day. Most of the other kids had left on their vacations so it seemed a bit cruel to tell the kids "Never mind what we said, you are going to school anyway!"
So we hit a few parks instead.
First stop was on the Westside (near-west side?). We hadn't been to this park before. Frog seemed to enjoy it 
but Monkey was not amused...

This is becoming increasingly common lately. Monkey has one more year of elementary school left and is becoming a little moody.
and dramatic.
She doesn't do a lot of the things she liked only a few months ago.
but....... 
Frog chooses a lion

Frog the acrobat

Monkey lies in wait...

Monkey's head starts spinning around a little bit (ever seen the exorcist?) at this point so we decide to go eat lunch.

Eating finally.
Still a little Wicked Witch of the West but losing her green-ness.
