But the park was quite nice. It had some wonderful equiptment for <a href=\"http:\/\/aiden_freeman.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">aiden_freeman<\/a> to climb on. It also had two great slides. (See the new pictures in my <a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/lordandrei\/gallery\/00016xdd\">Aiden 18-24 month LJ gallery<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>One of the nice attractions of the park was a small controlled lake area that fed off the sound. It had a water slide, a swimming area, and plastic paddle boats you could rent for $5\/ 1\/2 hr. All three of us got life jackets and we rode around the lake.<\/p>\n<p>Aiden was in his glee. <\/p>\n<p>Below is probably one of my favourite photos to date of him. He is so full of happiness, life, and intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>I think we&#8217;re doing a quite fine job with him.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Posted pictures --><br \/>\n<lj -raw><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/lordandrei\/pic\/0002r0rw\/g34\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/lordandrei\/pic\/0002r0rw\/s320x240\" alt=\"Very happy Aiden in Oak Harbour on a boat\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><center>Very happy Aiden in Oak Harbour on a boat<\/center><\/strong><br \/>\nPicture taken on a rented paddleboat on a mini lake in Oak Harbour on 080713<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i><center>Click the photo for a larger view<\/center><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/lj><br \/>\n<!-- End of Posted pictures --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2644\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/07\/13\/good-parenting-in-action\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2644\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/07\/13\/good-parenting-in-action\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-2644\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/07\/13\/good-parenting-in-action\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2008\/07\/13\/good-parenting-in-action\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went on a day trip today.
