On Hallowed Playgrounds

We returned tonight to the kids’ favorite park in town, which, to our great fortune, happens to be within walking distance of our home. Beni was wrapping up her ladies weekend in the big city – a “fair sex in the city” situation, if you will – and so the kids and I headed over by stroller to our neighborhood alfresco café for some dinner and recreation. Reed spent most of the time moving earth à la Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel, and Olivia hung out both on the monkey bars and with her younger brother.
