This little walking park is right across from our apartment complex. It’s nice because you can get on the grass! And there are always lots of kids playing there and people flying kites or walking their dogs. Colt was playing with a neighbor who happened to be there too. They made paper airplanes from some […]
Let me just say the teachers did an amazing job decorating all around the school. There were balloons EVERYWHERE. . . it looked really fun!
