Lucas' Park Party

We went to Pleasanton to celebrate Lucas' fourth birthday. Scott loved the playground.

 It was meant for older kids and made me so nervous, but John dutifully followed Scott all over the place.

 Scott likes older kids. This boy was sweet and let Scott watch him play.

 He couldn't figure out how to work it without the boy's help.

 So big!

 He was surprisingly good at the climbing wall.

 John would support his feet and he'd go right up. 

 This slide was too big for him. And I think poorly designed. 

 So we went to the baby section.

 He loves swings with John. Dad always pushes higher and harder than mom.

 It was a little cold and very windy, but Scott loved walking around the splash pad.

 He liked smacking the water. Then he ventured further and was standing next to a sprinkler as it went off. 

 He froze in squat position and cried until John ran and picked him up.

 Most of the family playing in the dune/stream area.

 Scott watched Neil play with the water until he was somehow waist-deep in it again.

 He was happier about it this time, though.

 Then when his hands and feet felt frozen I dried him off again and re-dressed.

 These two have so much fun together.

I didn't add the pictures I took of Lucas, since I figure his mom will, but we hope you had a happy birthday! Thanks for inviting us to your party!
