Pops in the Park

Forgetting that it was Pops in the park, the boys and I packed a picnic,drinks,blankets,towels and the boys swimsuits and went to surprise Jeff at work. On the way I realized what was going on tonight and wasn't sure if we should try it or not since we were not completely prepared. I would have brought the wagon and more drinks and snacks had I remembered. Jeff was happy to see us and surprised. We decided to give it a try with what we had so after 30 minutes of looking for a parking space we finally made it in and found a nice place to spread our blanket. After we ate Caleb got his face painted like a Ninja Turtle and then got some Clumpies icecream. To waste time until the fireworks we let the boys play in the water. The boys loved the fireworks, Christian was so excited. The night was not what I had imagined when I was planning our evening but it turned out to be a fun and exciting night that we all enjoyed. I am so glad that we did this. I really enjoy and couldn't think of anything I would rather do then spend time with my three favorite boys. I think we will make this a new family tradition and even though we did great with what we had we will be more prepared next year.
