Park Date

Yesterday (9/5), I got an early morning text message from my friend Tracey who happens to have a son, Wyatt, who is 6 months older than Whitaker.  They were going to a park in Waukesha and invited us.  So, despite the 88 degree temps I agreed to meet as Whitaker has needed the interaction with others.  Livian wasn't a big fan of the heat, however, and cried quite a bit, but after about 45 minutes fell asleep.

After playing on the "diggers," running on the equipment (where Whitaker hit his head so hard it knocked him to the ground) and then finally swinging (Livian fell asleep here) we went for a walk down the Glacial Drumlin Trail in search of the train tracks.  Well, it was roasting hot on the asphalt we decided it was too far.  We went back to our cars and drove to the train tracks.

The boys played on the tracks for just a few minutes when Wyatt fell and got a lot of owies.  It was also so hot, and I had left Livian in the running car with the air on.

The hot weather warmed the pool up to 92 and Whitaker and Joe went swimming in the evening.  Whitaker actually swam using my raft!!!  Livian was her usual "if someone isn't holding me and walking, then I'm going to cry" mode that evening.  Thus, I didn't get a chance to go in and just held her.

Edit: 10/3/12 - and as fate would have it, that was our last warm day and last anyone was able to go in the pool.  :(
