Family time...

It's been quite a while since we have gone out and done anything on a Saturday. John has worked Saturdays pretty much his whole career and, until Kate was born, I did too. So our "weekends" have always been on weekdays when the crowds are at a minimum...just the way we like it. But yesterday the four of us packed up our wagon and some lunch and walked down to the park for some quality family time. It appeared to be the last day of the AYSO soccer season and there were games everywhere. Kate brought her soccer ball and spent most of the 2 hours running and kicking while Luke practiced sitting up. She has not had much exposure to the game aside from playing with Daddy in the yard but she seems to be a natural. We parked ourselves under a tree about 10 yards from one of the fields where the teams of 4-year-olds were playing. So cute! John was reminicing about his many years on the soccer field and got very excited for the day our kids will be out there. John had to get ready for work so we had to drag Kate away promising to have a "soccer picnic" more often. I love family time!
