I have always loved this park. When Dominic was born, we lived in a little apartment two blocks away from this park. It reminds me of his babyhood.
They were hiding from Dominic.
He found them.
We decided Damaris has logged in more swing time already than any of our other kids put together.
Sister Chat.
She decided to stay at a safe distance claiming she was 'fraid. Whatever. She isn't 'fraid of nothin'.
I was trying to get a picture of Rose and Zellie. Clairvaux decided otherwise. Photo bomb PERFECTION.
She spent a good amount of time thinking this dog was real and then wanting a picture.
Lillie requested a picture stating she is going to grow up and have a lot of animals.

Birds were everywhere.

There wasn't much to do at this park besides swing. We decided to move on.
Van Dorn Park

John claims this was the "box is more fun than the present" situation. They thought this park was way too much fun. It was old yet simple. We stayed here for about 2 hours digging, sliding, and swinging. The weather had really cooled off and it was just a lovely evening.
Vianney told me that she could touch the blue clouds.
Not much beats her baby blues. Her eyes are like sapphires.
Rose and company worked on this for most of the time. They wanted to dig all the way around.
John and Dominic are running in a race tomorrow. John was filling him in on the details of the race and how he was already nervous. I love that I captured this sweet, genuine smile of Dominic.
Humid curls
100% Niewald look
Near the end, it was just Rose plugging away.
Baby finished up the work. Good baby.
A true sign of a good day at the park.
John and his homemade baby carrier. Baby didn't like it.
As a grand finale to this project you should journey to Marysville, KS about 90 minutes from Lincoln -- they have the most incredible park and I can just imagine your kids spending 1/2 day there.

ReplyDeleteI have been lurking from afar....Each time I count your kids, in just about every picture I see. I find your family so beautiful! It's like I can't believe it! LOL I'm Catholic and am used to big families. But your family is just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour baby Damaris looks exactly like your brother Andrew.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful! A Whole Holy Family is a joy to behold. This is what so many people want to have, but cannot say "yes" to God's will to obtain it. The sacrificial life of the parents brings forth such blessings and FUN!
