Our first full day in Fredericksburg, Friday, was a nice, relaxing one. We slept in and slowly got going for the day. We intended to go run on a trail, but after wandering around looking for the trailhead for 20 minutes we decided just to play at the park with the kids. I started out on the bench just watching, but in true “JT fashion” he was having so much fun with the kids that it helped me see that there is a good time to be had at a park by all, even as an old grown up.
We started out on this spinney chair seeing who could hold out the longest. Kassy spun me faster and faster. I was begging her to stop through dizzied laughter, but she’s like her dad and to her it sounded like I was pleading for more. I finally got out of it by sticking my feet out and whopping her in the shins. It was good fun. I instantly forgave her for trying to kill me and she forgave me for the shin smack.
“Rocky, rocky, rocky,” Maya sang over and over again as she rode her motorcycle.
Bell’s turn on the spinney seat. I should be grateful that Kassy spun me and not JT. It would have taken way more than a kick to stop him once he got me going.
Daddy joined in on the rocky, rocky.
Maya loves to swing, but she loves it best when she can ride in someone’s lap. JT gave me a little scare when he attempted an underdog on us, but luckily it was minor and more to get my reaction than anything. Maya begged for “More,” and “Higher!”
After an hour or so of play we headed back to Carrie and David’s for naps. Naps never actually happened, but a nice relaxing day followed.
