park days and nights and afternoons...

We had dinner at the park last night and lunch at the park today. We try to venture past our neighborhood park and it's always funny to me when Everdeen requests a certain one...like she's all of a sudden twelve years old and knows which parks are cool and which ones are for babies. "Mama, I want to go to City Park!"  Today while feasting on our lunch we were almost attacked by a squirrel. My husband would say that I'm exaggerating, but seriously, this squirrel was inches from our feet and in pouncing position! Nothing would scare him away until I screamed and made my dear husband chase him up a tree. Everdeen wagged her finger fiercely at the rodent and yelled, "Go away squirrel!"  He sat cooly in the tree tops watching us for the rest of the afternoon...and so did the Frisbee Golf players a little ways down from us.  Hey, they would have screamed too...
