Sunshine & Happiness!



Teena & I went for a walk this morning while the kids were at preschool and decided to go to the park and have a picnic lunch. The kids were thrilled with this of course and for once didn't complain when we told them it was time to leave the playground at the school.


We had gorgeous weather this afternoon and the kids played for almost 3 hours. Sweetie & I got a bit too much sun but other than that it was a great day!





Towards the end, we realized that the drums we'd been hearing all afternoon, were actually in the park not far from where we were. The kids had been enjoying it, Lovey & Boo were dancing to it! Honey kept thrusting one arm out and then the other, in time with the music and said "I got the beat and I just can't stop doing this!" Lovey & Boo named their dance the "cute widdle". After awhile, we decided to venture over to get a closer look.








The kids couldn't tear their eyes off the drummers. There were all sorts of drums that were being played, plus other instruments too. Lovey, Boo & Honey all went up on the stage of the gazebo and danced around as they played. Teena joined them but I didn't have the guts!









After watching for a few more minutes, we wandered off but they just couldn't stay away and they hovered near the edge, watching everything. Eventually, the leader guy asked them if they wanted to come up and try some stuff and that was it. They were in there like white on rice. :) The other kids showed them what to do with the different things and when it was all over, the girls helped pack up the drums in their bags and were quite pleased with themselves!
