A couple of weeks ago we met up with Kellie and Heather and their kiddos at a local park for some after nap fun in the sun! For whatever reason there was a huge pile of dirt just sitting there waiting to be explored and Cole and Ben took off right away. The boys completely forgot about the 2 huge play sets, the swings and the walking trail...they were focused on this mountain of dirty happiness ahead of them. Lily, Claire and Eden checked it out briefly but were not nearly as interested as the boys. Oh how I wished I had brought our sand toys or trucks. We finally convinced them to walk down to the creek for a minute and throw rocks, which they also loved. Lily had never done it before but thought it was amazing and kept trying to run into the freezing water! But I swear, after about 10 minutes of rock throwing the boys were back in the dirt loving every second of it. When we got in the car Cole told me it was "the most fun he had had at the park in a long time!" I guess that goes to show you....it really is the little things that bring the most joy!
