oakway park

On Friday morning, Finn & I met Gretchen, Ronan & Griffin at Oakway Park. It's a newish park with sand & fountains along with fun slides & swings. We had a really good time except that there was a boy there who had a very cool front loader (construction vehicle) toy. Finn is very into backhoes right now. He did not understand why he couldn't have that toy all to himself. It was an interesting experience for me - dealing with a tantruming child without Kenton, in public! Thankfully, the boy & his toy had to leave before we did, so we managed to have some good playtime without the front loader stealing all of his attention. :P

After the park, we met Kenton, Jacque & Stu at Sweet Basil for lunch. Finn did pretty well, considering he was a little sandy & pretty tired. He didn't want to try any of my chicken, rice & veggies with peanut sauce (though the next day he devoured my leftovers!) so he ate yogurt, raisins & slightly stale cheerios. :)

We went home for his nap & afterwards visited with Stu, Jacque, Carolyn, Jesse & Erik. We mostly just hung out & chatted, so no photos. :) It was a great start to Kenton's break & we are so excited that he has this whole week off from work! Yay!
