The new playground

They re-did the playground on our side of the river, in Ballina, so we decided to walk the kids down in the stroller and check it out. The kids had been sick this week (fevers, etc) but they seemed up for some fresh air this morning.

We let the kids loose at the top of the path to walk down to the playground

First arrival at the park

The kids have been on a spinner like this before, but this one had three seats, which was perfect!

Adele loves to swing!

Gordon has gotten to be a really brave climber

One of the last things Gordon did before he told me he wanted to go home. They've been sick, but seemed better this morning. Gordon and Adele went downhill quickly.

Adele fell asleep in the stroller and stayed asleep, going into her bed and staying there for almost 90 minutes. The boys refused to go to bed, but Gordon fell asleep with Dad for a little while.

Gordon & Adele waiting at the Shannon Doc (Urgent care) where Gordon was given antibiotics and Adele has a prescription to fill if she doesn't get better (or gets worse.)

I came home to find this. Poor Walter cried for 20 minutes after we left, then zonked out on Dad.  As we got in the car to leave, Adele kept asking for Walter and Dada.  Then when we got in the car to come home, Gordon kept saying we had to get home to see Walter. They aren't used to being apart.
