Merry-Go-Round!!!

So tonight Noah wanted to walk to the park. Not ride his bike. Not scooter. Not go in the stroller with his brother. Just walk. At first it was the "ECFE" park and then we agreed on the "river" park. In my head it was closer.

Explanation...all parks in Hutchinson have a name "Elks Park, VFW, Roberts" etc. Not sure who/what/where/when/why/how but we started naming them other things. I know more parks in Hutchinson by the names we gave them.

Here are a few:

The Orange Park (Noahs ALL TIME fav!). I have NEVER been able to figure out why he LOVES this park but he does. He wants to go there ALL THE TIME! Maybe I will ask him what he likes about it. Good thought to have.

The Blue Park

The New Blue Park

The Pink Park

The ECFE Park

The River Park

The Purple Dinosaur Park

The Park where Neal played baseball

The Park by the campground

We could go on and on. We have a lot of parks here. That is why I LOVE here!

So most parks are named by the group that raised money to build them or after someone, maybe the location etc. We have mostly named them by the color of the play equipment and others by location. Sometimes the color is only one piece of play equipment and others are the whole thing. Either way, I LOVE the names we have come up with. When someone asks to meet at a park, they will use the names, and I will have to describe what they look like to make sure that we will show up at the same one!

Back to tonight. I usually do not like Roberts park. In theory it shouldn't be a "bad" park. But it is near the river, it is by the softball fields, and it is set back from the road so kids "use" the park (if you know what I mean), we DO NOT dig in the sand at this park. We stick to the equipment and then sanitize!!!! I have found things in the sand. GROSS!!!!!!

The River Park (Roberts Park) has a Merry-G0-Round!! Noah LOVES them. He goes round and round and round and round and round. Tonight we put Peter on the Merry-G0-Round and he liked it. Noah wanted to go faster so informed me that Peter no longer liked it and I needed to take him off.

So we walked to and from the River/Roberts park. The night was warm. No wind. We can all enjoy our time outside, even Peter!

Life is like a Merry-Go-Round. It goes round and round and round. Sometimes slow and sometimes fast. But it keeps going whether we want it to or not.

How Sweet It Is!!!
