Playground

These pictures are from last Friday, when I took the kids to the playground. At the end of the summer last year, maintenance put in a small playground on the opposite side of the hospital. It just takes us a couple of minutes to walk over. When we were ready to leave some of the neighborhood kids decided to go with us. I loaded Caleb and two other small ones into the stroller. (One was a 2 yr-old who was going to follow us anyway. I wasn't sure about taking him without any adults knowing, but we went. It didn't seem to be a problem.) I had my four kids plus four other ones. We were quite a crowd!

My superheroCaleb's "owie"-- He fell while we were in Cut Bank on Friday morning getting hair cuts. It didn't bother him very much, but it looks bad.

This is one of the girls that went with us.

I am constantly telling the kids not to climb on the outside of the equipment, but they find it irresistible. At least we are close to the ER if anyone gets hurt!

Caleb is brave about climbing. He has to keep up with the big kids!

One of our neighbors that we see a lot of in warmer weather.

This is the two year old that went with us. He had shoes when we started, but they were the 7-yr olds. They wouldn't stay on his feet, but he didn't seem to mind being barefooted. This boy makes me nervous, because he is often running around in the street in front of our house. I am afraid he is going to get hit by a car, or something else will happen. It's hard to see that and not be able to do anything about it.

Our time at the playground was cut short when Isabelle decided she had to go to the bathroom. This led Kathleen to declare that she also had to go. What can you do? I gathered up all eight kids and we headed back-- until next time.
