Busy day at the park.

So, I think I've alluded to the fact that we live across the street from a park - Paramount Park to be exact. It's very much like stepping out into a Norman Rockwell painting on a daily basis. People jog and walk there. They teach their kids how to ride bikes there. Lots of dogs are present. And of course, the public mother of all jungle gyms. Whats more is that it is a popular spot for several youth groups to hang out and there seems to always be some really cool inflatable jumping thing that gets rented for rich kids' birthday parties. (I'm guessing the level of 'rich' is somewhere between the ability to rent an inflatable jumping thing and the wealth required to have a backyard big enough to actually put it in. )

Anyhow, I digress. This past Thursday, I came home after staying at the school late to oversee the delivery of our latest Coca-Cola fundraiser - literally thousands of ounces of soda were delivered (and, there I digress again). I was surprised when I drove up to see nearly every conceivable activity in session at the park and nearly every conceivable acre of the park in use. So, what did I do? I took pictures of it for the two people who actually read this blog...

Here's the most comprehensive list (of what I can remember) of everything going on and that particular snapshot of the day: people walking/running with or without dogs or strollers and babies, tennis, soccer practice, football practice, cheerleading practice, jungle gym activity, picnics, cookouts, a football game, a soccer game and few folks sitting in their cars talking on the phone or eating their dinner.

By they way, I took the pictures from left to right and (more or less) standing in the same place while doing some serious trunk twists.
