Tag under a full moon
Hannah played tonight at the park under a full moon at dusk that quickly turned to dark. We went to the park around 7 pm and she ran into an old friend of hers from kindergarten, her sister and two brothers. Their Dad and Mom were playing tag, running around the slides and behind the trees and bushes. Hannah played for a long time with them and it was fun to watch from the swing where I sat trying to see them in the dark and light of the full moon over the tops of the trees.
They laughed, screamed and sometimes you heard someone whimpering from running into someone else or stumbling. The Dad quickly came to the rescue to check for anything that might be broken, told them they were ok and to run away giving them an extra 5 second start!
I stared at the moon and the fluff of dark clouds that would pass by every so often and thought of how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful and peaceful place on earth. I listened to the kid's laughter, their Dad roaring every so often behind a tree to scare them and they would squeal and run the other way!
It was fun and relaxing after a busy day and Hannah really had a good time. About 45 minutes later I told her it was getting pretty late and we had to head home to take showers and get ready for bed. She was hot and sweaty from all the running around, but she sure had fun!
I was itchy from all the grass and dirt I got into today between mowing lawns and cutting back some of my flower gardens. Alot of work, but things look better and ready for winter now.
So nice hot showers tonight have made us all feel better and it's off to sleep so we can do it all again tomorrow!
