The Hunting Times

 Grandma and I took the grands to the park to enjoy the nice weather.  We were smart enough to pack a cooler of Gatorade.  We spent over an hour trying out all the equipment.  Not sure who had more fun, but it was an enjoyable afternoon. Wes enjoying his swing time The girls playing on the train It was a tight fit, but they both made it out the top Got all four of them on the train And the "fun" shot of them - Wes is done and trying to escape. Will is holding him in while Mallory sticks out her tongue. Poor little Hadley - she's trying to figure out how to get out.

  Healthy Communities of Clinton County ( https://www.healthyclintoncounty.org/ ) hosted a charity 5k run/walk on Saturday, 15 MAY 2021.  Since Kathy works for HCCC, she was in charge of the event.  Sandy & I registered and attended with Alex, Will, Hadley, Grandma Barb, and Grandpa Bill. Since the kids were present, the challenges were numerous.  Attention span and boredom were the two biggies.  We ended up walking past the animal enclosure the first time without incident.  The second time?  Nope.  We had to go locate the peacocks.  From there it was directly to the playground. It matters not that we didn't complete the circuit.  It matters that we donated to a worthy cause and spread the word about mental health awareness.  You know what?  We had fun along the way. This is our route of 1.3 miles out of the 3.1 total (or 2.1 km out of 5 km total - right?  It's a bloody 5k afterall!) The green arrow is where we went to find the peacocks.
