Playdate at the Park

We just returned home from a much needed and long planned play-date in the park with my best-friend, K and her three kiddos(ages 4yrs., 1 1/2yrs. and 2 months) We've been planning to go walk or play in the park for at least a month(really the last time all of us went to a park to walk was last fall I think) and finally everything worked out so that we could actually go.
We went to this cute little park on the river. It is absolutely perfect. The play area is not too big and not too small, just the right size for our older kids to enjoy themselves without feeling like they are "too big" to play on the "baby" size slides and still small enough that if the smaller kids, ages 1 and 1 1/2 climb and get stuck high up, us mothers can easily reach them from the ground.
We let the children play for awhile while we chatted and then we decided to take a stroll. The park is located right by a bridge(for vehicles) and another bridge(for pedestrians). We walked across the bridge then back again. As we were taking a stop to look at a snake skin that had been shed under the bridge I saw my husband coming our way. He was on his lunch break and decided to come find us.
Then we all went out for lunch at McDonalds. I was amazed at how well behaved the six children were as we stood in line and then all sat down to eat.
It was a great morning. We will plan to do it again next week.
