A picnic at the park

Yesterday and today the weather has been beautiful here. It is between 84 and 89 degrees with very low humidity. It's almost like a day during the Spring or Fall time. I had some errands to run and so I decided to surprise the kids with a picnic at the park when I got done with the errands. I stopped by McDonalds (it has been a while since we ate there) and got each of them happy meals and we headed to the park. It was so nice. We ate lunch at one of the picnic tables under a pavilion and enjoyed the nice breeze and just being with each other. We then went on the playground for a little bit and then the kids decided they wanted to go on a walk around the track. I was up for it since I had just scarfed down my lunch and while we were walking we were looking for different types of bugs or animals..whichever we might see. The kids were so excited because we saw 4 rabbits. One was pretty big and the others were kinda small. Bud was being the brave one today so he decided to get a closer look all the while I am scurrying to get my camera out of the little case to get a picture of the rabbits. I was so hoping the rabbit we hit on the way to the beach (go back to Beach Trip story) was not a relative because I would sure hate for one of those rabbits to attack my son in retaliation. Of course I'm just kidding. I mean about the rabbit being a relative and attacking Bud....ok I'm not making any sense here and I was just trying to take a stab at telling a joke, so I'm just gonna go on with the story. Anyway, his braveness(which I am not putting down by any means) cost me the picture because they hopped away as I was getting it out. I guess I was just too slow. Anyway, they were very excited to see the rabbits and they just had to tell daddy when he called. We also had a discussion about why we weren't going to capture the rabbits or go to the pet store and buy any. We saw some baby butterflies and a bright green spider too. They had fun but were definitely tired by the time we got back around the mini-track so we just went back to the playground for a little while longer.
