Taking matters into 5 year old hands

This is "The Crew" at the park.  Little red in the face, but boy did they have fun.  We met Amanda and her girls at the Chick fil A for lunch, which was crazy town, but we braved it.  Members of our dining party may or may not have been covered in Polynesian sauce after the meal.  After the Chick, we headed to the Park.  I let Hadley pick which Park, we went to and for some reason she didn't pick our usual Park.  Not that we are Park regulars or anything, because the whole helicopter Mom thing gets taken to another level when the girls and I go to the Park, but any who, she wanted to go to a different Park.  It was all fun and games for 5 seconds until the kids that were already on the equipment, marked it as theirs and wouldn't let the girls up the towers or down the slides on one side.  They were like actual mean girls.  Bratty, want to take them over your knee mean girls, complete with missing in action parents.  Not one to confront other peoples kids, because umm hello this world today, a little unstable....we told the girls to go play on the other side.  Which they did reluctantly.  Amanda and I were chatting and then we heard Rae (Amanda's oldest) behind us.  She had walked up to a lady sitting on a bench and was setting her straight.  She let the lady know that "those girls were being mean and wouldn't let them play and she needed to do something about it."  Unfortunately, the mean girls didn't belong to this lady, but I so appreciated her 5 year old spunk in handling the situation.
So glad we got to spend the afternoon with these girlies, they are growing so fast.
