Too old to play at the park...?

BYE BYE BIRDIE

We had seen signs around town for the musical Bye Bye Birdie. It was being put on at Staring Lake amphitheater about 1.5 miles from our apartments. Since we jump on any opportunity to get out of the house, we decided to walk over and watch it.

The picture below basically sums up what we thought of it... The acting/singing was awful and so was the story line.

So after about 30 minutes we made our way over to the awesome playground and pretended we were kids again.

We had races down the slides...

...and rolled down the hills!

Although the play sucked, I would say our trip to Staring Lake Park was a success! :)

CHICAGO BALL

Last week, we finally had good weather on a Sunday, so after church the boys got together and played a game of Chicago Ball. It is kind of like softball, but it is played with a big, soft ball so you don't have to wear mitts. It was fun to spend some time outside watching the boys (and Krista) play.

Brenton didn't feel the need to join the huddle before the game...

Brenton and Trevor found it neccessary to show off their sexy, white legs while playing in the outfield.

Krista is an all-star and played with the boys while Makel and I (not wanting to embarrass ourselves) sat under a tree and watched. She did a great job!

We also spent some time swinging in the greatest swings EVER! Until we got sick to our stomachs... maybe we are getting to old to play at the park.

NEW DECORATIONS

The Bloomington Farmers' Market opened up, so Amy and I went to check it out. We weren't too impressed with the produce, but we did find some sweet paintings at the Theatre Yard Sale to add some color to our plain apartments. My cow (I think thats what it is) painting was $1 and hers was $2. I'd say we got a good deal! :)
