It has been a while since we were able to spend some special time with our grandkids as life gets busy, and Tyler was at camp last week which he really enjoyed. So today I had to get the oil changed in my car and then had an appointment to have it detailed at another business, thanks to a “Groupon”. It was going to take about 2-1/2 hrs so Grandma picked me up and we went to Wedgewood Park in Grandville. It is a small but very nice park with a nice play area and a creek running through it with many hungry ducks waiting to be fed.
Tyler and Gracie had to try out the swing set first. Even grandpa challenged Tyler to see if he could swing higher then Grandpa, I think Tyler won. In case you did not know it, Gracie likes to have her picture taken and has some, lets just say, unique poses.
Then we had to check out the ducks.
There was even one lonely duck that looked like it had the colors of a cow. Someone there said that is like the runt of the litter, and the other ducks did not seem to care for it as they stayed away from it.
One of Gracie’s great qualities is that she makes friends easy. She met someone at the water and you would have thought they were best buddies and knew each other for a long time. They had to see if they could balance on this tree root without falling into the water.
Tyler not to be outdone by girls had to give it his try. He did good for a while and then got a little braver and started bouncing on the beam and next thing he knew he was landing in the creek. Never saw him move so fast getting out of the water. That’s why one of the pictures you will see his shoes are no longer on him.
After we ate a delicious lunch that grandma had made us we went off on a little walk along the creek and took some more pictures.
Then we went back to the playground to let Tyler and Gracie play some more before heading for home.
When we got home Tyler helped Grandpa replant four plants that are going to be used for Melissa and Joey’s wedding this Saturday.
It was a fun filled day and we still were able to get some things done that needed to be done before the wedding. Hope you enjoyed sharing our day with us. I feel bad I did not get any pictures of Christi today. I will have to make sure I include her next time.
Dale & Christi
