First Spring Trip to the Park

One of the things I really love about our village is all the great parks they have. We are lucky that two blocks to the east of us is a fantastic little park. It's also nice that two blocks to the north of this park is a much bigger park with a track, large playground and tennis and basket ball courts. It attracts most of the older kids leaving the smaller park for the little kids like Maddie. Last week we decided to take our first trip of the season to the park to play. I was so excited to take Maddie since the last time she went the only thing she could do was swing.



As you can see, Maddie was really excited too!


She decided to test out the bridge first and after some slight hesitation she was off!






Then Pepper and Daddy showed up to play with us to.


Next she wanted to try out the swings.


Can you tell what her new "excited" face is these days? It's usually accompanied by a "woah".




Finally, she decided that after months of practice on the indoor slide we have here at home that she was ready for the real thing. She loved it!




It was so great to be able to see her explore all the new things she could do and so fun to watch her as she tried each part of the playground.

This will definitely a spot that we visit a lot this summer!
