Fresh Air for the Sickies

Ah, cold and flu season.  The two youngest and I have had colds lately.  We went out today to get some fresh air.  We went to a new to us park to scout out the area for an upcoming family activity.  Jr. Jr. was pleased to find out that the park has two playgrounds and he got to play on both. 
There is also a frisbee golf course and there were several people playing while we were there.  It also has a biking (walking, etc.) trail that goes through part of the park and continues on past a golf course.  There were quite a few people out walking their dogs.  After playing on the playgrounds, we went for a walk up the trail.  I could only handle so far before I started feeling not the greatest and needed to head back.  As we were headed back, we spotted some people riding horses on a neighboring trail.  Jr. Jr. likes horses.  He also likes throwing rocks, which is what he did over a nearby fence as we were walking back down the trail.  Nobody was on the other side of the fence.  When we got back down to the park, the people on the horses had just ridden close and offered to let Jr. Jr. pet one of the horses since they saw him looking at them earlier.  He loved that.
So our day at the park was very pleasant, except for the colds we still have.  Oh, and Lucky waking up when some big friendly dogs came and jumped on the stroller.  The owner came running up apologizing.  I figure they were just being curious.  They definitely didn't seem to be mean dogs.
And I tried to get a picture of Jr. Jr. on the balance beam before he jumped off, but I didn't get it in time.
This is what I did get.
