The Beal Family Blog: Park Time & St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This morning, the girls had breakfast and then we planned to run to Kohl's and the bank and then I was going to surprise Kierstin by going to the park. I packed everything up and made us lunch to have later at the park. We left and went to Kohl's only to find out that they didn't have what I needed. I needed 5 picture frames that were all the same. So we left and went to the Kohl's on Highway K, but they only had 3 frames. They looked in the computer and saw that the Kohl's on Jungerman had 7 of them, so we headed there. The girls were very good getting in and out of the truck and going in and out of the store.

When we made the last Kohl's trip, I told Kierstin that I had a surprise for her and she was very excited. When I pulled into the parking lot at the park, she was so happy. Kierstin played for a little bit and then we all had lunch together. Kierstin was very excited to have a picnic lunch at the park. She played some more while Audrey and I watched from the bench and then my cousin Christina and her daughter Caitlin stopped by. I had invited them the day before, but they weren't sure if they would be able to make it or not, so we were very happy to see them. Christina and I chatted (and Audrey too) while Kierstin and Caitlin played together. The girls played superhero, and pirates, and on all the playground equipment. We were at the park for 4 hours, so when it was time to leave, everyone was exhausted. It was a great day with awesome weather.

We came home and I immediately put Kierstin in the bath tub because she was filthy from being at the park for 4 hours. CC came over after work and played with the girls while I got dinner started. My dad came over to hang my new picture frames and had dinner with us (my mom is in Doniphan until later tonight). The girls went to bed early because they were exhausted!

Here are a few pictures:
