After we left the market, we picked up Ryan and headed to Coolidge Park. The kids were all ready to splash and have fun in the fountain, but unfortunately it was closed... earlier in the day a kid had a bathroom accident and they had to close the fountain to sterilize it. The kids were a little disappointed, but there's always next time. They all rode the historic carousel instead. It was Logan's first time on a carousel. We thought he might be afraid, but he loved it. He just kept staring at the lights and animals and when the ride was over, he did not want to get off!
It was typical HOT July weather perfect for being outside (and sweating your butt off!) so Ryan, Lee, and the kids played in the park's field for a bit throwing a frisbee around. Logan had so much fun just getting to run free as a bird. He adores his little cousin, Harrison, and they were running back and forth and back and forth just having a good ole time! Claudia, MaryAnn, and Shannon relaxed in the shade while they all played, and I walked around snapping some pictures.
MaryAnn and Shannon headed home after the park, and Claudia, Ryan, Harrison, and my clan headed to Market Street to get some dinner. We ate at Taco Mac and we were all starving... the food was great. Logan was well-behaved and had fun feeding Daddy his goldfish crackers. I had a delicious margarita and Claudia had some Sam Adams beer.
All in all, it was a hot, but super day. It was great to see everyone and get out and do something inexpensive on a Sunday afternoon. I took tons of pictures and many of them came out so nicely that I had to share a lot of them. Normally I wouldn't post this many, but they all really capture our great day so well that I felt the need to share. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed taking them!! *Click the photos to view the full-size.
