The back yard is suffering from an ant invasion. I'm not sure if the ants are planning a take over or if they were brought on by too many crumby picnics (where things fall as they may). It is could be both. We were swatting at them like mad yesterday. The war is now on. I sprayed (with some organic kid/pet safe stuff) and now in efforts to let the spray do its magic, we are avoiding that area. The ants may think that they have won. We will not give up. We will again create and play in our space again.
The front yard does not lend itself to carefree play, so Camp Wannahavealotafun packed up coolers, filled water bottles, and loaded up the van and headed of on it's first field trip. Where did we go? Fall Creek! On a trip to Weavers a couple weeks ago, we discovered that Fall Creek has an amazing park. It was great. There is a large-ish piece of equipment that allowed for a hour or so of creative play, they have tennis courts, basketball court, ample field space, some shade, volley ball net, digger, and rocking toys, swings, and a very lovely shaded picnic area or two. Best part? They have bathrooms that are actually open. That is (you will find) my biggest beef about parks. Why have bathrooms if people are not allowed to use them. Drives me nuts--especially since playgrounds attract children.
We had a lovely little tuna on cracker, strawberries, cucumber kind of a picnic and then played some more. I think this was an excellent place. I think we'll return again someday.
Ratings: 1 to 5 rating: 1 being don't bother with this park and 5 being Camp Wannahavealotafun-tastic

I took pictures with my new phone, however, I do not know how to load them up yet. I'm sure I'll figure it out before too long.
