an afternoon at the park…

It was great weather since we had a little break from the hot and humid weather yesterday. Highs were in the upper 70’s with low humidity. I’ve been meaning to bring the camera the last few times we’ve gone to the park, but this time I finally remembered.

It was great seeing William take joy in this time, especially since he’s been sick and has been cooped up in the house for the last week. He hasn’t gone out since we’ve gotten home from vacation. So I think he really enjoyed getting some activity and fresh air. Ah-ma and Josiah were able to tag along this time, too.

I love how William looks like he's skipping down the path.

The lake at the end of the path had these gorgeous, humongo flowers.

William frequently watches other kids play and will follow them around, sometimes imitating what they do. This bothers me at times b/c I don’t like seeing how easily influenced his mind can be by others, but my dear friend Kelly keeps assuring me that it’s normal to observe other kids at play. I guess this makes sense, especially since William is the oldest and doesn’t get much interaction with other kids. And it’s actually a blessing that I am getting a small window into how his little mind works. How human it is to want to be like others, especially when they can do things you can’t do yet.

great photos, amy!! : ) so fun to see william enjoying himself. perhaps he is on his way to being a FBI agent or something with all the staring or watching to sharpen the skill of discernment. ;)
