A few days ago, my car needed to be serviced for a bunch of different things, so we had to drop it off at the dealership for about 4 hours. I got the first appointment of the day hoping that would speed things up, but it didn't really. Sitting in the waiting room is terrible for so long with so many kids, so we went on a walk to a park that is about a 45 minute walk away (longer if you are intentionally going on all the back paths just to pass the time). The kids loved stopping to watch the birds and run up and down along the trail or sometimes off the trail.
The boardwalk was their favorite part because the stroller I was pushing Natalie in made what the kids thought was a train noise. They also enjoyed testing their balance.
When we got to the park, no one was there, but tons of people came and went over the course of a few hours. The kids loved having unlimited playground time and snacks on a picnic blanket. Toward the end, I read to the older kids for about 45 minutes while the youngest two played nearby. Natalie kept herself completely entertained the whole time on this slide.
Heidi loves helping Natalie at the park and spent a lot of her time helping Natalie get on and off things whether Natalie wanted the help or not.
