Our Township hosts a day where the community gathers for games, rides, and fun at the local park. The weather this weekend was beautiful, so we were able to bring Johnny.
We had a large crew join us for the festivities — Uncle Tim, Uncle Mike, Pop, Grandma, Grandpa, and Angie’s roommate and friends from college – Victoria and Dan. We went last year with Jimmy and made it only to the firetruck before he decided it was nap time. This year Johnny was the one napping!
The highlight of the day was experiencing Jimmy going on a pony ride. At first he was a bit timid, until we pointed out that the pony was like a larger version of Dunder Dog. After patting his fur, Jimmy was holding onto the saddle ready to go. As he ventured on each lap, he had family and friends cheering for him around the entire loop.
Although he is not yet big enough for most of the activities, there was an inflatable toddler ball pit and a petting zoo that also sparked Jimmy’s interest. He was also able to check out the fire truck. Since we were at the park, he was also able to show off his jungle gym skills to Pop and his uncles! As always, the blue tunnel slide was a hit!
Afterwards, Jimmy and Uncle Tim cracked open the huge chocolate bunny that Uncle Tim and Mike gave to Jimmy at Easter. For weeks, Jimmy was waiting for this day and he seemed to really enjoy it. We then ventured outside to play with a bubble maker with Pop. Jimmy loved not only chasing the bubbles, but laughing at Dunder chasing them too!
Next year will be fun with both boys sharing in the excitement of the day!
