"Daddyless" Dino Park

Today I actually summoned all courage and took the kids to the Dinosaur Park alone, in the rain, and mud. We actually had a blast and got more than a little filthy. After the park, we came home, rested for about a millisecond, and then attended a four-year-old's birthday party. My kids are currently tanked up on sugar and adrenaline, somewhat sleep deprived, and ignoring a movie. I am pretending not to notice that they are building a fort out of the couch cushions and dangling from the light fixtures. (Ava is taking a break from these activities and "blasting off" in the bathroom.) Still, I ignore. The slide show is from the dinosaur park today.
