A Day At The Park

What better way to spend an afternoon in this beautiful weather
than a visit to the park.

We had just been talking about going to the park
when we received and invitation to a birthday party,
being held at (You guessed it) the park.

PERFECT

James doing the challenge course,
on rollerblades.
(Just makes it more challenging ;)

It's just amazing to see Santi doing this,
with all the pain and surgeries he's endured his entire life.
It's nothing short of a miracle.

Sweet Cilicia

A true friend (Ana) is one who thinks you are a good egg
even if you are half-cracked(me).
;)
(I love you, Ana!)

Sisters~Friends
:)

Ben and Luke (One of the birthday boys).
(A special bond)

The Amazing Chefs

Re-fueling to roll on down the trail,
one more time, or maybe two or three, ha ha.

Exchanging 4 little wheels for 2 big wheels.

Time for Street Hockey.

"Oh, yeah!"

Poor Mary :(
(We're still waiting to see if she has a fracture in her wrist.)
(She sure is a trooper!)

"Refill, please"

Happy Trails ...........

Friendship is the breathing rose,
with sweets in every fold.

What a beautiful day in the park.
Thank you, Luke and Titus for inviting us to your party,
it was superb!!

"Perhaps that is the true gift of a teatime celebration: It fills our cups with joy and warmth and
friendship. May the echo of the teacups' message be heard not only on special
occasions, but anytime friends come together." ~Emilie Barnes
