Woohoo!

The driving paths at our beloved Lowell park have re-opened for the season!!! They'e been closed all winter, so we haven't been able to go play by the river. I think it's about a mile walk from the parking area down to the river when the paths are closed - too far for Lucas to walk. And too far for me to carry both kids. Oh, but the paths are open now, so we can park right next to the river!! We went today and played by the river even though it was COLD. Lucas has taken to picking out his own clothes and outerwear. And he doesn't much compromise. Today he was wearing short sleeves with only a vest over his shirt and clogs without socks. The poor kid was freezing (but didn't want a jacket...). But he played happily, anyways, since it's been soooo long.
