The boys slept in so the day started slower than normal. Cullen didn't want to leave the house. Sal took Campbell, who was waiting on the sidewalk with his bike and helmet ready to go, to the Red park.
Minutes later Cullen changed his mind and we walked over. There were a bunch of kids the boys know from their daycare so they were busy. Campbell decided it was time to go while Cullen was still playing. I followed him out of the park on the longer route home, but home was not where he was going.
The green park is about 3 blocks away, around a gentle curve, invisible from the red park but he knew exactly where to go. I doubt he has ever made the walk/ride from red to green but I couldn't fool him when I tried to make the turn towards home. We didn't stay long. I think hunger overrode the desire to swing. He led the way home where he and Cullen shared a big hug on the sidewalk as if they hadn't seen each other in a week.
Campbell napped until almost 5:30 and Cullen played after a short rest. We fired up the sprinkler but Campbell said it was too cold and Cullen wanted to play swing ball, similar to tether ball with small rackets and a tennis ball. He is a very athletic kid and it is fun just to watch him track the ball and smash it.
A quiet evening, facetime with Mike and Mel and all went quiet. We watched a few episodes of Orange is the New Black and turned in.
