Picnic at work!

My office is in the background

One of the benefits of my job is that my office is conveniently located right next to a playground! This playground is for the benefit of the nearby neighborhoods, not a part of the office complex, but it sits right behind the parking lot, so I can walk there easily in a matter of minutes. I've been waiting for a beautiful spring day to ask John to bring the girls here during my lunch hour and today worked out perfectly! It was only a high of about 68 degrees, but it felt warmer in the direct sun. He picked up Reagan from preschool and was at the playground by 11:40. The girls played on the equipment until I arrived at noon, then we sat down for a picnic lunch. Reagan was too hot in the sun, so we moved our blanket underneath the slide for some shade :)

I took all these pictures on my iPhone ~ not bad quality, right?

I love this picture of Avery going down the slide!

Slide-induced STATIC hair!

Avery and John

She's getting good at posing, right?

One last turn on the swings before it was time to leave ... as you can see, Avery was pretty tired!

It was such a great break in my day, but it was really hard to return to work ... Reagan started crying, telling me she wanted me to stay with her. Luckily, a woman at the park started blowing bubbles with her grandson, so the bubbles distracted Reagan from being sad and allowed me to leave.
