After a week at home, I joined GG and the children for a day at Pullen Park. It was so fun to watch them run around and play with each other, and with GG. Though we love spending time with Maddie's and Ry's friends, we also love watching the two of them together, alone. They can be the best of friends, running with each other, laughing hysterically, and playing make-believe games.
We started the day with a ride on the boats.
GG then accompanied Maddie and Ry on the train ride. It was on the train ride that they spotted the paddle boats and somehow talked GG into taking them on a paddle boat ride.
Ryry and GG pose for a picture during our picnic lunch. Though Ryry is not a "true" cuddle bug, he cuddled up to GG ALL week. Why. . .because he shares GG's love for Cheese-Its. Whenever GG had a box of Cheese-Its close by, Ryry was glued to her. So long as GG doled out Cheese-Its, Ry was right there cuddling with her.
Go, GG, go! GG got a great workout, as she was the only one paddling this boat. Ryan did all the steering and Madeline occasionally helped GG by pedaling with her arms. For those of you who don't know GG, she is one of the most energetic *%&# years olds, you will find. It always shocks Matt and me.
Time to climb some trees.
