We had big plans today.  Our plans fell through though… it happens.  So I packed some lunches and we set off for some fun at the park and a picnic.  And I actually remembered to take my camera.  My actual camera – not just my phone.  Double Woot!

Turns out it was a little chilly outside.  The temp was in the 60′s but it was windy and the wind was cold.  So we stayed at the park as long as Gus’s ears would stay warm… which was good enough.

…well don’t ask Gus.  He might have a different opinion on the whole park trip today.

…we’re doin’ whaaa????

Next time we hit the park, we’ll have to 1) go when it’s a bit warmer outside. (In my defense it was 85 freakin’ degrees yesterday. Go Texas! 2) Go to the park with the swings. I see some swinging in Gus’s future.

….she says we’ll go swinging soon, but now all I’ve got is this stupid stroller and my chewy. And a blanket. Pfft. Sometimes it’s tough being the little brother, huh?

Check this out… When I was uploading these pictures, I remembered that in the early days of this blog I wrote a similar post with pictures of Henry’s first trip to the park. That post was on March 29, 2010… Almost 2 years ago!

Aaaahhhhh!!! Stop! I can’t take it! ;)

Moving on… Henry’s a big fan of the slide. He’s got his own slide-on-the-belly-technique perfected. Here… I’ll let him demonstrate. Enjoy!

Don’t worry Gus… We’re leaving now.

It was too chilly to sit outside and have a picnic, but since I’d packed everything up already, Henry and I decided we’d picnic anyway. Thank goodness for our minivan, or the Sarahvan as we like to call it. I laid the back seats down, spread out our blanket and we had a nice climate controlled picnic in the back of the van. Gus was warm, and Henry said we had a “fun picnic.” I’ll take it!
