Mississippi Park

Today while I was at work Matt took Parker to Boom Island. Right behind my son is the Mississippi River, yes, right over the little piece of cement that he is sitting on. It's a good thing I don't go on these little excursions.

Parker loves the Mississippi. Usually every weekend we go somewhere that involves the Mississippi. Last time they went they met a man that lives down by the river and has a little bench and tee pee. Parker calls him the Mississippi Hippie. He learned that from Lee. He asks every day to go see the Mississippi Hippie now.
Our friends the Knights invited us to go to N. Mississippi Park tonight. Today I was reminded why we shouldn't tell Parker 8 hours ahead of time what we are doing....every 5 minutes he would say "Mississippi water me?? Now? NOW!!" It was the first thing he said as I entered the door after work.
Alex and Parker had a blast playing in the wading pool and waterfall.

Matt and Joe carried the boys back to the car.....at this point a storm was coming. We were going to grill and play some more at the park but it started to rain so we went to Burger King and sat there for quite some time while the boys played.
Thanks for inviting us Dawn, Joe & Alex!! We had fun!!
