it's {embrace} the camera day!
our neighbor stopped us
to make sure that we knew
that all of the firehouses in our area
were having open houses.
what a good neighbor we have.
the bigs got to climb in the trucks,
and fireman willingly slid down the pole
(at our request).
everyone except for L.
poor little guy was crying before we made it into the station.
at the mere sight of the truck's lights on,
he freaked out.
so onward we ventured
to our
new
little
favorite park.
as you can see, it's nestled amongst some big buildings.
it reminded me of being in new york.
but we were the only ones there.
matching
awkward
food-in-our-mouths
smiles for the camera.
that boy is mine.
we had so much fun
cartwheeling,
racing
and performing our many circus acts
all over the grass.
i usually can't pull off such a crazy outfit
but i was taking K's wardrobe lead for the day.
it undoubtedly worked for her.
it felt a bit as though we were performing in a circus.
although there was no audience.
okay, it felt a bit as though we were practicing to perform in a circus.
okay, he was our audience.
and he loved it.
