Do Gooders

We love our dog park, but noticed the dog clean-up receptacle is always out of bags. The city explained that it is part of cut backs. So Jack and Grant took action and enlisted their classrooms to collect grocery bags to fill it. They've collected enough to fill several parks full. So now we just need to go on tour with our bags across the city, or enlist help to fill them all. Anyone need bags?

Harmony Park

As relaxing as it's name.

Thursday Park Day

Took Jango with us and he ran until he collapsed in the shade of a slide. Beautiful day in Mesa and a great time to build sand towers and play the troll under the playground equipment.

Let's go into the City!

It just doesn't have the same ring as when we lived in Brooklyn. But with a light rail system in Phoenix, it's still an adventure. We went into Phoenix for MLK holiday and found a very quiet city. Is that because it was a holiday or because that's Phoenix? Good thing just the same-no one around to yell at us for climbing on the statues. My kids enjoyed the outting, especially my Thomas the Train loving two year old. When we told him we were taking a train, he couldn't stop talking about it! But why would we try to stop him, any talking two year old is cuter than a bunny on Easter (but gets old just as quickly as jelly beans after Easter). I really was hoping for a hot dog vendor- it's just not complete with out one, but alas, there were none to be found. Oh well, we had hot dogs for dinner that night.
