Fun at the Park....

I took Joel to the park for the first time yesterday. He was so excited to be outside! He walked around in the grass for a while and poked at bugs and sticks. He really seemed to enjoy the swings, but was pretty lukewarm about the slide and the merry-go-round. It didn't help that there is a railroad track very near the park and every time a train went by, Joel would cry and want to be held. He HATES trains! He wore himself out after a while, but I still had a hard time getting him to leave the park peacefully! The plan is for us to all go to the park tonight so Daddy and watch him play. It's awfully hot, though, so we'll have to see if we are all up to that! More later...
