the park

we have been living at parks this summer. many times during the week we bike it to a nearby park and let'em loose. they love it so much, i'm pretty sure our girls would be just fine with literally living.at.the.park.


thumb suck and ear pull....even while on the swings.
e's been a big swinger this summer. she can get herself on, push off and pump to where she goes really high - all by herself. the first time she did it (about a month ago) i seriously thought there were ghosts in my backyard.

she really gets herself high though...
obviously that's what happens when she controls herself with pumping. makes the momma nervous...
and she's such a ham for the camera...hee hee.
happy girl on the swings though....she'd spend hours there if we let her.

our little ad would much rather dig in the sand/dirt, collect rocks/sticks and NOT look at the camera...
she doesn't mind getting dirty at all...

and has such focus...
she likes the swings too though...

and other equipment...especially that she can climb on. she's looking for big sissy to join her here...
our two park lovers...
the park bus...

e's a climber too. she's gotten awful brave this summer and she's coordinated enough, but i can't seem to get used to it yet....even though the summer's almost over. ha.
i'm thinking every summer there will be lots of moments at parks i'll be biting my bottom lip no matter how old and coordinated...
i do like watching them on the slide though...
again and again and again and again...
and how much longer will i be able to get away with going down myself? hopefully quite a while.

oh yes, we love the parks!!! we (me and the baby daddy) also love the after parks....
when turning in for a nap or for the night is smooth sailing...
