Imagineers

One of my very favorite things in this world is watching Peter and Dallin play "imagination." They usually play with little Star Wars characters and have battles in Dallin's room (with cool forts and rope slides). I can often hear them dueling with lightsabers and getting "injured." Another form of imagination for my boys is with swords (or lightsabers) and is best done at Willows park just down the street. This park has bridges and "lava" underneath the wobbly step stones. This might not make any sense... just use your imagination. I don't know how Peter successfully battles "Luke Skywalker (aka Dallin) for an hour completely submerged in his character, but he does (and I think he enjoys it :)). They sometimes even get dressed up (yep, at the public park... sorry I don't have pictures of that). We went to this special park the other day and the "knights" got on their horse, ready for battle (see picture above)! Peter and Dallin have so much fun using their imaginations together (they are having a battle downstairs at this very moment). As for me, I could not have imagined a more wonderful, fun, loving father for my children...
