Just got back from the lake. It's still much too cold to go swimming, but the kids like the playground, and John loves the water toy on the beach. He was quite wet and full of sand. I just laid them down for a nap.

On the way over there, we saw the horses that are near us, and Hanna saw them and started singing Old Macdonalds. Well, it sounded more like "Ob-a-don-oh ham a farm, e-i-e-i-o, neigh-neigh dere, neigh-neigh dere, Ob-a-don-oh ham a farm, e-i-e-i-o". Ha. On the way home we saw some cows, and she sang the song with cows.

I took the kids over to the playground by the Y last night. I let John play there for a few minutes after the swimming lessons till we were ready to go, and he didn't like having to leave, so I brought them back. That's the first we've really played there. It was a bit cool and very windy, so we were the only ones there, but they had fun. There's a kind of handle on rail tracks, that you hang onto then slide back and forth. John can hang all by himself and I give him a push so he slides down and back.
