T'Mahk Too - Comments on Let the Summer Begin! ... I guess. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000719.html Well, today is the first of an unending series of "park days" for the summer. Actually, I guess there was one on Tuesday, but I was out of town and I think it was cold and rainy here. I'm not... en-gb Thu, 07 Jun 2007 07:32:55 -0500 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:50:07 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.1 kim@andfam.net 180 By Rebecca Newport I am sure it will be fun for all. It is way too hot here to do park in the summer. We are in the 90s all week with heat index in the 100s. I had said we would try the "free lunch" park thing but, man, it is just too hot. Have fun today! And take some cool pics! Becky http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000719.html#c78192 78192:719@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I am sure it will be fun for all.

Unfortunately, we can't make this one, because Grayson has therapy today. I have switched it to Wednesday for the rest of the summer so that we can go. Then I will have one less lame reason... http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000719.html#c78204 78204:719@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Kim, you just named all the "lame" reasons I give for not wanting to go to the park too, so don't feel that you are alone.

]]> Thu, 07 Jun 2007 08:06:35 -0500 By For a Season I'm glad it's not just me. I give all those excuses for not doing field trip/park days too. We really do enjoy ourselves when we do go though. I make even MORE excuses to avoid women's group type things. I'm always convinced that I'll be the biggest dork and have no one to talk to. Which hasn't happened yet, but I'm a big practicer of avoidance. Take your camera, I LOVE your pictures. You've got such a good eye for setting up shots! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000719.html#c78212 78212:719@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I'm glad it's not just me.

]]> Thu, 07 Jun 2007 11:18:17 -0500 By Betsy Hey, Sweetie Kim: I see from Iliacat's email that ya'll are back from your park outing. Did you make it through, and have a good time after all? I can certainly empathize with the whole muster-up-the-energy-to-gather-everything-and-everyone. That's why we usually chose only one park day per week when we lived in town--and there were "seasons" of life when I couldn't even do that much. I had to giggle about Iliacat bringing a book or project along, being a little too old for that park. I just know that B would be making mud pies and having a ball, despite looking every bit the teenager! She just LOVES to play. Maybe we can try to make it there at least once this summer, at least for J's sake. Then when all the other sibs talk about it, he'll have a clue. By the way, the girls and I will be in town next Saturday the 16th, for the matinee performance of the ballet show. And the whole family will be there the following Saturday, the 23rd, for Betsy C.'s graduation party. Love and miss you guys!

Only my backyard became the park. And my bathroom became the public restroom. And my refrigerator got used to keep everyones' lunches from spoiling. (I think you get the idea!) Truly, I would much rather have gone to a park!!!! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000719.html#c78691 78691:719@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Kim, I'm gathering from the previous entry that you did go.

You know funny thing is Collin did not nap yesterday. LOL It is all the getting ready that is the hard part. You will have fun when you get there. So next time get everything ready the night before. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000719.html#c79605 79605:719@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Hey my twin. I am with you on the park day thing.

]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2007 19:41:09 -0500 By kim yes, we did go, and it was fun. Of course. Betsy, I think Iliacat just gets frustrated being the only *older girl* ... I think she'd love doing all those things if she had a friend to do them with. She plays well with boys and is quite a climber / runner but doesn't seem to like being the only girl in a vast herd of boys. I'm sure she'd love it if you can come up some time ... as would noodle & gark! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000719.html#c80415 80415:719@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ yes, we did go, and it was fun.
