Scene V - McGuffey Park

McGuffey Park is in North Downtown, one of the prettiest neighborhoods in Charlotteville. A recent renovation has been completed and the city website boasts that McGuffey Park is "one of the premier play facilities in the area". I'm sure all the neighborhood kids have noticed.

We brought some good weather to the park with us this afternoon. No gloves or hats needed, and Aunt Cat was even able to break out her sandals.


Kallie enjoyed building sand castles.



Kyle really liked the swing, as usual - note the happy tongue-out-side-of-mouth expression.



Kallie showed us how to walk and balance on the low fountain wall.



Mommy and kids posed for a group shot, with the church in the background. I took a whole series of these shots, but I just couldn't resist posting this one of Kyle's happy face.

After we left the park, we stopped by our local grocery to pick up fixings for a tofu and veggie stir fry. Kallie declared on our way there, "I like tofu." (Ah, my vegetarian friends would be so proud.) But, that's no surprise because Kallie is a very good eater, and even her brother is coming around by expanding his list of foods tried and liked (I think he's made a lot of progress in this area since I saw him only two months ago).
