A Good Day

I don't know why exactly, nothing majorly exciting happened, but today was just a good day. I woke up this morning all energetic and motivated to take the kids somewhere fun, (which isn't always the case) so after breakfast and morning chores, we packed up the van and headed to Dublin Park. (aka "The Castle Park" to my kids) It was alright there, despite the enormous amount of children running the place. There were at least three or four daycare groups there today, so it was packed, but everyone seemed to be having fun, and Logan got to try out his monkey arms on a big climby pole. He got about half way up and asked me to do it, so I got to impress my kids and made it to the top. (I was a Majestic Monarch top rope climber in my day!) Linc and Owen looked at me funny when I came down. I don't know if they were impressed or wierded out, but then they both had to try it too! They didn't make it quite as far, maybe six inches off the ground, but I have a feeling their day is coming.

After the park we dropped some books at the library...two weeks over due...I like to think this is my way of supporting my public library and literacy for young children. I don't even want to know what the fine will be, cause I had a TON of books.
The boys got a "gyeezeberger" for the drive home and afterwards the three youngest fell asleep so I was able to stop at a few places I've been dying to photograph on the way home. Logan is always my little photo buddy. He's so good and gets just as excited as I do when he see's something he thinks would be cool to photograph. I think for today I'll just post the picks I took in a hay field with Logan (there are a lot....I like hay bales, what can I say?), and I'll post some other goodies on my photoblog sometime soon. Oh, and for the record, my van with my sleepy air conditioned children was directly behind me in a safe parking area! :)

I still have two weeks of my semester left, so it's crunch time. Gotta run!

I love hay bails too. And I love good days that are random and just normal, but still good. Good luck with the rest of school.

Those pics are incredible! I'm a bit of a fan of hay bales as well! You are amazing though. Do you sell your photography online? I know Steve Neider does... just a thought.
