Approximately one month ago Zahra brought home a letter to me that she had written at school asking me to take her to the Kiddie Park. It's the yellow letter with hearts. I promised that we would do that, but I will admit a few weeks went by without me living up to my promise.
All week I had been planning to take the kids to Kiddie Park today. It was going to be our kickoff to spring break. But I was keeping it a secret. That was going well until yesterday when Zahra came home and told me she wrote me another note about going to kiddie park. And she wanted to know when that would be happening. I spelled my secret and told her we were going first thing Saturday morning. She seemed okay with that.
We had a great day and went all out. It turns out Zayd is probably too old for the rides so we did some face painting for the big kids and let him escort Ziyan on a couple rides. Zahra and Ziyan had a blast and Zayd definitely enjoyed the arcade.
When cleaning out her backpack I found yesterday's note. It's the pink note. Ouch! "Dear Mom when are you going to take me to kiddie park? I've been wanting to go there for a long time. I want to go there. Love, Zahra." It seems I just barely avoided a really letting her down!
