Yesterday our playgroup met at Coolidge Park for the day, thinking we would beat all the crowds before school got out. Everybody and his brother were there. Kindergarten graduation, elementary school end-of-the-year celebration, and even high school and college activities were going on. People were everywhere enjoying the beautiful weather and fountains. So much for beating the crowds!
We found our friends playing in the water fountains and set up our blankets in the shade near a picnic table not too far off. Rebekah was excited about riding the carousel, so we did that first. My mom had joined us for the outing, so she got Rebekah on the carousel and rode next to her while I rode on the other side with Joshua. Rebekah's arms trembled as she rode, although she seemed to have a good time. I could tell she was nervous riding all by herself without having an adult holding on to her.
After we rode the carousel we went back to our shady spot to dress Rebekah in her bathing suit so she could play in the fountains. Just as we were gathering our things to enjoy the water our friends LeeAnne and Maggie had a scary experience. I helped LeeAnne get her things to the car while my mom attempted to take Joshua and Rebekah to the water. Rebekah decided she did not want to play in the fountains once they got there. I think all the people was just too much for her.
We had lunch and enjoyed some of our friends in the shade while others dried off in the sun. Once dressed again we enjoyed another ride on the carousel, and Rebekah and her friend Heidi ran around some together.
