January Fun--Oklahoma Style

Knowing ahead that it was going to get really warm, we planned a trip to the playground for Thursday. Since we homeschool, we can adjust our schedules to accommodate for playtime on days when it's going to be unseasonably nice. Fridays are normally our field trip/play days, but we leave it open to switch it with a different day of the week according to the weather and other factors. So we went to the park across from our old neighborhood in Owasso to enjoy the day. The kids love this park, and I think it's the biggest outdoor playground we've ever been to. It brings out the kid in all of us!
(I normally like to go down the slides with the kids but I stayed at the bottom this time for a picture!) It's so much fun.

Here's Dylan coming out of a slide. Some of the slides are so tall and so fast that I've seen plenty of other moms and dads on them too!

Gabie and Faith like all the little riding toys too. We went right after lunch before public school lets out so it wasn't too packed. Afterwards, we brought out baseballs and bats to the diamonds out back and played a game of baseball: Mom and Faith vs. Vince and Dylan; while Gabie runs around and does his own thing like he always does anyway. Today, he decided that the dirt on home plate was so nice that he should roll around in it. So that's what he did, on and on, until he was covered in dusty dirt. At least it kept him busy while we played! (Oh--the score was Vince & Dylan 6; Mom & Faith 2.)
