We've been living here for over 5 years, and until two weeks ago, had never even thought about going to a park, but we finally did, and Sophie had a lot of fun!
A few days earlier, I was cleaning out the garage, and Sophie wanted to climb up on my yard tractor. Since it was in gear and I had the keys, I let her up there and she pretended to drive...
In ten years I'll be asking her to mow the lawn - we'll see how much she smiles about it then :)
Anyway, we went first to get Sophie's hair trimmed (you can see how long her bangs are in the above picture), then we hunted down Mark Park, which is about two miles from our house. They have a splash park there too (not pictured), but we were interested in the playground equipment...
This is the larger of the two main pieces, there are also two swing sets at the park.
Sophie on the bridge to the slide:
And here she's sliding down the aforementioned slide:
Like many playgrounds, a steering wheel attached for no particular reason is included:
Mommy helping Sophie up after coming down the big slide:
Sophie sliding down yet another slide:
And climbing a spiral ladder:
You can see from all of the pictures that Sophie loved the park. Next time we'll bring a swimsuit so she can play at the splash park.
It's also important to note that with very few exceptions, Sophie did all of the climbing and sliding completely unassisted. She's getting better coordinated every day, and playing like this definitely helps build more strength too!
Stacy should be popping in here in the next day or so to give a report of their trip to the local nursery, where Sophie fed some deer and pet some puppies!
Later!
