The Park

Have I mentioned that I love Spring?  Or at least Spring weather?

A big part of the reason that we chose to build here had to do with parks.  You're probably thinking seriously?  That was your reason?

It was a big deciding factor.  We have a park about a hundred yards behind us.  Because the house behind us is at an angle, I can look out our kitchen window or sliding door and see the kids at the park.  Since our yard (being one of the bigger ones) wouldn't fit a swing set and slide we loved that idea.  Plus, we're right by a park that has a splash pad, and a half mile away there is a park that has tons of fun toddler toys.  Oh, I forgot the park up the street from us that has about 20 slides.

Michael and Elli are loving the parks too.  We go at least once a day.  Michael can now climb up most of the bar ladders, including curvy ones.  Most of the rock walls will have to wait until he grows another 3ish inches.  Elli happily climbs up the stairs and goes down the slides by herself as long as someone is there to catch her.  Sometimes she just sits at the top of the slide for twenty minutes and has to deal with Michael barreling past her every thirty seconds.

Who doesn't want to get to the park in a sweet ride?

He's still too short to reach the peddles but he likes walking himself along.

I'm hoping Elli starts walking soon so she can maneuver the park by herself.  When this baby comes I probably won't be climbing up after her and coaxing her down.
