Riverside Park

Today we made it to Riverside Park with moments to spare. The main reason we were going to this park was because they have a little train ride & carousel for the kids. We were meeting a little guy from Sydney's daycare, Ben, & his mom & baby brother, Adam. Leanne thought that the rides opened at 11am, but when she got there she learned that in the morning it only runs from 10-11am. Sydney, Jason & I arrived at 10:55 am. Thankfully the lady running the rides was a very nice woman & she gave an extra ride on each so that the kids who were all in line would not miss out.

The reason we were so late was because I ended up putting Jason down for a nap because he was up at 5:45am this morning. I was worried that he would not sleep in the van & would then be a monster for our play date. He slept an hour and I literally pulled him from the crib and plunked him into his car seat. Therefore we arrived at the park with him still in his p.j.'s & of course I planned to change him as soon as we got there. However, since there was the time crunch for the rides I had to wait until after our train ride- which he went on in his p.j's.

Overall the park was great, but there was not much socializing between me & Leanne. It was just too darn busy.
