Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Field Trip to Centennial Park - Owen

I had fun going on the same field trip with both kids.  But it was much easier with Owen's group as the kids were older and not as likely to run off.  With Chloe's group, I felt like I was constantly counting heads to make sure everyone was accounted for every two minutes.  I didn't count as much with Owen's group and got more pics as a result.  :)

He had so much fun dancing in the fountains.


And like his sister, letting the fountain blow his shirt up and out.



Owen didn't play in the fountains for as long as I expected.  He wanted to sit up on a perch with his friend Alec to watch the other kids play in the fountains.

Then their friend Lou joined to scope out the water play below.

Owen and Alec sat together while we were waiting for picnic lunches to be handed out.

After lunches were consumed, Owen was turning cartwheels everywhere.

There was a musician singing and playing his Jamaican drums for us while we ate.

On our way to the playground and bathrooms after lunch, the DoubleTree free cookie mobile was out and handing out cookies.

Owen played hide and seek at the playground.

It was so hot out the kids begged to go back to the fountains to cool off.  More cartwheels needed to be turned.


I loved watching him dance in the water.  He had so much fun.
