Our Day at the Park

Sunday was a gorgeous, sunny day and Alan, Jackson and I decided to go to the park. I LOVE our park. It's one of my favorite things about the town I live in. Big, beautiful river, lots of green grass, and there were tons of families there playing together. And lots of dogs (you would have loved it, Anne). Anyway, we went for a walk and let Jackson play on the playground...well, we might have helped him a little bit!

This is his first time on a slide. He liked it!



He thought swinging was hilarious! He was cracking up.







Then we laid out a big blanket and played with Jackson, fed him some applesauce, put him down for a nap in his stroller (and he went right to sleep!) and then Alan and I napped on the blanket in the sunshine. Does it get much better than that!? I could hear the river, the birds chirping, and kids laughing. Alan's hand was resting on mine. The sun was warm and I was just so content. It's hard for me to understand how people doubt the existence of God when it seems so obvious that he created such a beautiful world for us to enjoy. I kept thinking of my mom's favorite slogan: "Life is good." It really is.
