Prairie Ridge

Saturday was beautiful, so we headed out to Prairie Ridge for a walk and to play at the nature play space. The kids spent a long time "fishing" in the pond with little sticks, catching all sorts of muck and water plants.





Alice practices her ninja skills with a stick, while Simon suffers through enforced walking. I'm still trying to convince him that he is capable of walking places and doesn't need to be carried all the time. So now, if he is properly fed, he will submit to walking as long as he can hold my hand.


At the play area, the kids played with this other random kid for a while. He had is own digger, and we actually remembered to bring ours, so thank goodness there was one for everyone.



Alice played for a long time in the outdoor kitchen area. She would fill pots and pans with dirt, which was oatmeal, then cook them in the mailbox, then bring them to the table. I don't really know what the scenario was, but she played happily for a long time.
