Armstrong Park

The Huffs and Bolanders (minus Nathan) at Armstrong Park 2007

I just love this photo.
I think it looks like Shawn is telling Kale some secret.

Mark is showing off how loose his tooth is he could wiggle it back and forth with his toung. He really did not want to get that tooth yanked. A few days later while at Makayla's home I knew it was time to pull that first tooth! I tried to convince Mark it would be a good idea to take it out so he would not risk swallowing it while he ate. He was not interested at all. Would not budge on the idea of having a tooth yanked out. The Makayla came to the rescue, she announced she had 'special tooth pulling string'. It worked Mark was willing to give this magical string a try. Makayla goes to the other room and comes back with a shoe box full of colored tooth pulling string (thread). She let him pick out what color of thread he wanted, he took a while weighing his choices and then finally picked one. Makayla offered that either she could help him use the string, or I could or he could do it on his own. He decided that mom could tie the string but he wanted to pull it. I tied, he pulled, and plop came out his first loose tooth.

One of my 2 best friends is Makayla. We thought it would be fun to take the children to Armstrong park and have a picnic. We had a great day. We brought the dogs, lots of food and camera. We ate and let the children play on the playground and feed the ducks.
