Swords and Doughnuts

We had a fun family night that we were all looking forward to but it got postponed for a couple nights. We were going to go get doughnuts and play at "purple park." Our cousins showed us purple park a couple months ago and Charlie had asked so many times to go back but it was difficult since it is a school playground and we can't go during the day. When the day finally came for doughnuts and purple park Max also suggested the idea of sword making, which he had done with the Young Men in the church and had purchased extra supplies so our family could make some. 

So Swords, doughnuts and Purple Park. What more could a little boy want? OH yeah, and they also got to use grown up tools to make the swords...

 

While we were helping Charlie finish his sword he said "I love my sword!" no less than 15 times!

When their swords were done they practiced in the parking lot while Max and I finished our swords. (These are the things I do when I have a houseful of boys and I completely love it!)

 

We then made our way to pick up doughnuts to take to the park. Once we got there, Charlie ran off to climb and play right away while Miles plopped right down to start his doughnut binge. 

Miles was not going to move until every doughnut hole was gone, we had to remind Charlie to come get some before his brother ate them all.

 

And then there was a lot of playing and running and swording (is that a thing?)

And water breaks!

And then there was an immaculate sunset that I had no idea how to capture on my phone, also there was a large school blocking the view.



Don't you worry, I did lots of sword fighting too, there is just no documentation :)

And when it was past bedtime and starting to get dark we made our way back to the car and called it a night. A fun little memory for us and the boys!
