To the park on a lark

One of my friends on Facebook was in Boise for the day and invited me to come to the park. It doesn't matter that we had only met once in real life--isn't Facebook and this age we live in so amazing?

It was a really cool park, with futuristic playground equipment. This jungle gym was really tall!

It had all kinds of weird stuff. Vander liked to sit on that pole and have me spin it around. I'm not sure what that contraption was for in the background. It had two skateboard-like things on two semi-circle tracks and looked like a death trap to me.

A jungle gym for younger kids had all kinds of goodies on it, like this propeller and the "cafe counter" behind Vander. Annalee was filling my food orders for a good 10 minutes. Mostly they were serving bark.

What a fun day!

Juliet said...: I count we have met more than those 2 times. Since we were facebook friends, then I was mysteriously deleted from your list due to technical errors. I thought hard about anything I had said online to accidentally offend you, couldn't think of anything to merit an unfriending and sent another friend request nervously. Which you immediately responded,"Hey, I thought you were on the list already! What happened?" to my relief. So, more than once before the park is what I say. Plus, we are kindred spirits. We just are fast friends. :); May 24, 2012 at 10:04 PM

Who Are We?

We are a crazy-fun family and we're happy as long as we're together.

We say "Yea" to: dogs that don't shed, fantasy books, a clean kitchen, Dr. Mario, casual athletic activities, Love and Logic, capitalism, Sobe, singing in the shower, Hispanic food, time-outs (for kids and parents), cloth diapers, coupons, Jack-in-the-Box, Taco Time, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, genealogy, seeing our extended family often, children who sleep in their own rooms, holding hands, on-line computer games, garage sales, Sunday dinners, love letters, home improvement projects, making a job go faster by doing it together, (appropriate) PDA, the annual BYU-I Halloween Concert, riding bikes, adoption, the temple, and Star Wars.

We say "Nay" to: government-run health care, putting each other down, nuts in baked goods, lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, cable tv, landline phone service, watching football or nearly any other sport (yawn), ridiculous email forwards that you know couldn't possibly be true, quack grass, dandelions, not cleaning up after your dog, gossip, allergies, and saving people (or companies) from the consequences of their own choices.

We agree to disagree on: illegal immigration, cheese, the right way to load the dishwasher, Japanimation, the proper length of a good haircut, cheesecake, the temperature, whether we should bring the dog camping next time, the color pink, whether a glass of chocolate milk counts as breakfast, Chuck-a-Rama, vitamins, and which of us is more fortunate to have found the other.
