Summer Happiness (new photos)

I took my kids to the Riverview Park to get some relaxation and play time. This is a drive through park in Missouri where you can stop and view the Mississippi River, fly kites, go on a bike trail, or have a picnic. Our main reason for going was to stop in at the playground.

My son is extremely happy to be at the park. He was playing peek-a-boo around a post to me.

First thing it was down the slides my son and daughter go. Not one at a time either. They just rode down together!

           That's one big slide for one little boy. He's growing up too fast for me.

My daughter (on the right) took off to play in the rocks. Here she is making a rock mountain with some new friends she met at the park.

        My son was contemplating what to do next. Big sister had abandoned him.

He decided to do some tricks for me. He kept saying, "Look, Ma Ma." (By the way, just an interesting side note. My son was born with a tooth. Yes, I know. It was kind of creepy. He had to have it pulled when he was one month old. Needless to say, a baby tooth never grew in like they told me it would. So we will just have to see what happens when he gets his adult teeth.) Ok, back to the park photos.

Look, Mom, I have found a friend to. He is two and he likes to throw rocks on the slide just like me. These two spoke a language all their own.

My daughter is peeking out from under the slide at me. She may be trying to dodge the camera. Who knows? I got a photo though.

She is just sitting quietly on the slide watching other kids play. I really liked this shot of her. She looked so peaceful and happy.

This park was just WAY TOO MUCH FUN!! ha ha ha

                                I love the happiness in my sons eyes.

Before we left to go home, I got one last shot of them playing in the rocks. We stayed for three hours that day, and were the last ones to go home.
