A Day at the Park, and Helping Hands

I took the three younger kids to the park today while Joy was at gymnastics class.


Todd started out on the toddler jungle gym, which basically consisted of one itty-bitty slide . . .


. . . then he looked over and saw that the big kid playground was a lot more interesting.


Goodbye, toddler playground.  Hello, adventure!


Todd soon discovered that big kid slides are much more intimidating than toddler ones.  Anna was scared to go down it, too, so she tried to convince Todd to go down first to see if he'd survive.  Todd declined to be the guinea pig and eventually got up and left to play on the bridges instead, so I agreed to go down the big slide with Anna.


After that, she decided the big slide wasn't so scary after all, and went down on her own.


In other news, here are all of Daddy's supplies that he took to Louisiana this evening to help flood victims clean out their homes.  He carpooled down to Baton Rouge with a few friends from church, and he'll be joining thousands of Mormon Helping Hands volunteers in a big relief effort.  I'm really proud of him for sacrificing his weekend to bring help and hope to our neighbors down south.
