Now that enrichment classes are out, we have a little flexibility in what we can do in Fridays. I told the kids if they got all their work done by Thursday, we would see about going swimming.
Well, one particular one did not have all her work done (and much of it required my supervision), so I couldn't take them to the pool. However I wanted to get the other out in the fresh air.
So I packed a simple lunch, some extra water, and the school supplies we needed and we were off to the park. We got there early and had the whole place to ourselves for a little while.
Shortly after that, a group from a school, came later and the kiddos made friends with some of the nice students (I could rant about the adults "supervising" but I'll save that for another time). Shortly after they left all the school work was done and we found a nice shady spot for our picnic lunch.
After everyone's tummy was satisfied, I let them all run off to play for a little longer, before heading home for some quiet time.
They all slept well that night.
