Saturday In The Park (I think it was the 4th of July)

Over the last few weeks we have settled back into our typical routine with work and school. This means that when Jeremy is not at school he is typically studying, even on our precious Saturdays. The problem is that the weather has been improving and we have tried to take advantage of that by having some park time with cousins on Saturdays.

Last Saturday Jeremy was finally able to break away from studying and make it to the park about five minutes before we were ready to head home. This Saturday he decided to take a break and join us and then return to the books.

It was a pretty perfect day weather wise and the park was beautiful. I had never been to this particular park before, but it has tons of paths and is right on the river so it has beautiful views and a dock you can walk out on to. All the cousins had scooters or skateboards and they had a great time.

I think we spent about two hours riding the trails, doing tricks, and having races and Merrick was still devastated when it was time to leave. The day was a combination of Merrick's favorite things; being active, being at the park, and being with cousins. It was a win/win/win and I think for Jeremy worth the study time missed.
