Lizzy's belly flop 2010

Thought I'd include some shots and a video from a Fall park & lunch playdate with our old educational playdate group. We all met at Holstein Park for some fun and then the plan was to eat at Toast. But Toast was way too popular that day and with all the kids we had a big group...14 seems like so many more in a restaurant than at the park! So we went to Bucktown Beanery instead and as always had a great time with our friends.

Here's AJ trying out the rope structures. Pretending to be a bird or a spider?

Here's most of the group, all mixed up. Benjamin on Jack's bike, Jack with Lizzy in our stroller, AJ with Callie in Jack's stroller and Taylor in her stroller looking at her bro on the bike!

Got all that? There's a quiz later...

And here's a video of Lizzy belly flopping on the swing. She loved swinging like that! There were a few scrapes and bumps along the way, but she was a tough little cookie.

I'm totally looking forward to getting the younger ones together this Fall and Winter for playdates and "preschool"projects like we did with their big sibs. Since AJ will be in the morning program this coming school year, things like that are possible again.
