Today was a gorgeous day. It was in the upper 60's here. We anticipated this being our last nice Saturday for many many months to come. So we decided to get out and enjoy it. We took a picnic lunch to a park. After lunch the kids headed over to the playground to play tag.
Addy hitching a ride with Zac. He is such a fun big brother.
They were pretty darn rambunctious. At first there were only a few other kids on the playground, but after a while there were a ton of kids and they were all really little. And my kids are really big. I knew they had to be making the parents of the little kids nervous. So we left the playground in search of safer places to run wild.
The kids found this amphitheater and immediately Aubrey and Addy ran to it and started dancing.
Then Zac got there and it turned into a wild game of tag again.
Then Emily joined in and it progressed into a friendly game of butt tag. (you had to smack the booty of the person you were wishing to tag-it's harder to play that way)
Then Steve joined in...
And then suddenly I was in the middle of it.

Awesome berries we found growing on the trees
Then, someone-who shall remain nameless- started throwing acorns at innocent people.
This resulted in a lot of acorn gathering and an all out acorn war.
Addy's ammunition stockpile.
Emily and Aubrey had their own ammo stockpile too. I went to get a pocketful of acorns from them and Emily asked if I wanted some berries from her berry belt. For some reason this was really funny to us all.
At the end of the war, we all gathered around to make peace. We had a little spiritual thought to get us ready for Fast Sunday tomorrow. Then it was time to head for home. It was a fantastically fabulously fun day and I am so thankful I got to spend it with the people I love the most.
