Digging Up Dirt

I am so glad that autumn is here! Tucson is finally starting to "cool down". We are able to go to the park now just about any time of the day. It can easily reach the 90's, but we are no longer sweating in the 100's! Yay!


We found a new park recently that is a lot of fun. Good playgrounds, tons of shade, and lots of sand! We met some of our friends there one morning for some fun running around and digging. I got Peter a bunch of digging toys in the after-summer clearance sales. My trunk now keeps a bag of shovels, rakes, strainers, and buckets just to take to the parks.


These toys are always immensely popular with ALL the kids. Thank goodness I have a good number of them or there would be some kid-on-kid fighting! As it is, they can usually find something to dig with. Peter has started being able to scoop up dirt in his shovel and carry it somewhere else. It's super cute to see how carefully he tries to not spill.


Peter stole Hunter's truck and was cruising it around the playground. It was a pretty windy day. Peter's hair was getting thrown all around!


Daddy was off work so he came to play with us. He chased Peter around the playground. Peter liked to clomp around on the wooden wagon they had.


He needed some help to go down the slide. It was a pretty fast one! John held on to Peter to help him go down.
