The kids had fun running around and playing at the<br \/>\n    playground. Lex was even interested in the balloons! He had no<br \/>\n    nap though so he was pretty tired and it was very hot. I bought<br \/>\n    him a balloon, similar to one that hangs on a porch of a house<br \/>\n    we frequently walk by.
