on a couple of occasions, we visited the new and improved austin park and visited with my old pal from high school, julie redband varland. 🙂she’s got two little varlands herself, so it’s fun to have playdates in batavia. isaac mostly liked the swing and jake did a great job obliging him: here’s a lovely […]
