Chapter 5
Abby opened the rusty gate to the park, it squeaked as it swung open, Luka walked in pushing the stroller. Joe was kicking his legs and looking at the people. The park was full of children playing in the sandpit, screaming as they went down the slide, swinging from one bar to another some with the help of their parents, holding them up, while others were showing there mum and dads how they could do it without any help “look mummy, look” shouted a blonde girl on the money bars. Parents pushing their kids on the swings and a small group of kids playing hide-and-seek on the jungle gym. Older kids were playing tag on the field just outside the play-area.
They stopped underneath a big oak tree on the edge of the play-area where there was a big patch of shade and no-one else was sitting there. Abby helped Luka put out the picnic rug and then unbuckled Joe and handed him to Luka who was now sitting on the rug with his legs crossed. Luka put Joe on hid shoulders “I’m going to take Joe over to the slide for awhile” said Luka. “Ok, I’ll stay here and look after our stuff” said Abby. Luka made sure Joe was holding on and that he would be safe and then he stood up and walked towards the slide.
As Luka approached the slide a small group of boy ran past him. The boys had been playing on the slide and they decided they were going to play tag now. Luka took Joe off of his shoulders and stood at the side of the slide, he put Joe on the top of the slide with his hand on Joe’s back. He lightly pushed Joe down the slide, now holding Joe’s hand. As Joe went down the slide Luka moved towards the bottom of the slide. When Joe reached the bottom, he had a big smile in his face and his eyes had a special glow to them. Luka picked him up “you wanna go again, buddy” Joe franticly kicked his legs on Luka’s side, he took that as a yes and put Joe on the top of the slide again.
About 15 minutes later Luka walked back over to Abby holding Joe in his arms. Joe still had that special glow in his eyes. Luka passed Joe to Abby and sat down on the rug next to her. Abby moved over slightly and put Joe on the rug in between her and Luka. “He loves the slide” said Abby. “Yup, he sure does, next time we go to the park I think he is ready for me a let go of his hand” said Luka smiling. “I think so too” said Abby looking at Joe and smiled. “You hungry?” asked Abby. “Yes let’s get an ice-cream at the café on the way home” replied Luka. Luka put Joe in his stroller and buckled him in and then helped Abby fit the picnic rug back into its bag. When they were ready to leave Abby pushed the stroller this time and Luka opened the squeaky gate.
Abby stopped outside the café as Luka opened the door for her and they both walked towards the counter. “What can I get you?” said the lady behind the counter. “Two medium sized cones and one mini cone” said Abby. “Do you want any sauce or flakes” the lady asked. “No” replied Abby. “Ok then, that will be $12.50 please” said the lady. Luka got out his wallet and paid the lady. When the ice-creams were ready Luka picked them up and walked with Abby out of the café. They walked over to a bench and Luka gave Joe his ice-cream and the n handed Abby hers. They all sat in silence and enjoyed there ice-creams.
Joe’s ice-cream had melted all over him, the stroller and the grass than he had eaten. Luka looked over at him “maybe it isn’t the best idea to get Joe an ice-cream” Abby looked over at Joe and laughed. She took his ice-cream away from him and put it in the rubbish bin next to the bench. Luka cleaned Joe the best he could and they made there way home.
“Let’s get you all cleaned up and ready for bed” said Abby as she unbuckled the stroller when they got home, she picked up Joe and walked towards the bathroom. Not long after Joe was bathed and ready for bed. Abby carried Joe into his room and put him in his crib. Luka walked in and gave Joe his stuffed frog “sleep well, you had a big day today” said Luka. “Night, baby” Abby said kissing Joe on the head. She turned on the baby monitor and went downstairs with Luka.
