more playing at the park- second post of the evening

I posted a note before this post, so if you want to see that one, scroll downHijo and I head out to the park after work today.  yes, I had to work on a federal holiday.  I keep saying that I need to move to another country where I get more holidays, but the truth is that I love America, so right  now, I have no hlidays until May unless I take a vacation day. 

Back to the evening.  Hijo and I, once agan, had the park to ourselves.  I can't say I blame other parents, I thought it was 40-50F out there today based on the weather reports I saw last night, but it was 33F!!!  That is just above freeezing!!!!!  YIKES and DOUBLE YIKES!

But hijo needed playtime and I knew I could bundle us up.  so we headed out.  With no snow on the ground, the park was perfect.We played "phone" and we played Dora (the grumpy old troll).  Hijo is a great at riddles.  We played for about 30 minutes before both of us were commenting that our faces were cold.  So we headed home, me to fix dinner and hijo to take a bath to warm up.

Mi hijo es muy inteligente y mas guapo.


Well, as mi hijo dice- hasta pasta,
