FOOTBALL IN THE PARK

This is a recap of our seriously awesome day in the park last week. Better late than never, right? ;) So back to the park. Central Park. Our beautiful backyard. Literally a hop, skip, and jump away from our little ol' apartment. I can't tell you how thankful I am to have this lush haven to explore with Lucas. It has been our saving grace on many a cranky afternoon. I am a Central Park ninja at this point - I have scouted out and know all the perfect nearby spots to let Lucas run free and fill his pockets with dirt (under close supervision of course ;)

Last week was no exception. I rounded up the boys and off we went. One of my dearest friends was celebrating her grandmas birthday via a Central Park soiree and we were invited to join the festivities. There was lots and lots of kiddos, amazing food, music, and balloons. What more could we ask for?

^^kisses are always welcome!^^

^^have I mentioned how delicious toddler bellies are?^^

^^this beautiful teenager is my niece breana. I was in the hospital the day she was born and I can't believe I'm old enough to say those kinds of things^^

^^this is what it looks like to be the queen! ha!^^

^^the perfect view on the walk home^^

We were having such a blast that we didn't even realize we were still out having fun during Lucas's bath time. We packed up the stroller and gunned it home, desperately trying to make it back before the little mister passed out. Well not only did he pass out, he was catching those z's while sitting upright in daddy's arms! We paid for this later when we HAD to wake him up for a quick rinse before bed (there was actual dirt in his diaper). At least it made for a funny photo op and video. Always a good time with my boys!
