Playing at the park

Michael had to work late one of the days last week so I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and take the boys out in the wagon to the little park we have in our neighborhood. The park really isn't all that special, but it was at least nice to get out of the house for a little while.


This is exactly what I envisioned using this wagon for when Ga-Ga bought it way back in October 2007 at the Mill Creek Garage Sales. I'm so happy that Jack is big enough to sit up in it now and he doesn't fall over.

This was the first time Owen actually played at this park. I've taken him to it many, many times, but he mainly wants to push the wagon instead of play.

He went down the slide a bunch of times all by himself. The only thing is the slide is a little wimpy so he has to scoot himself all the way down.

Owen wore this hat this time last year when I took him to this very same park. I just love this hat...Thanks Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kim!

Jack is doing really well with standing up and holding onto things. He's loves being able to see things from a big boy perspective.

Owen is always sticking his head through slates like this and wanting you to kiss him. He does it with the gates at home. It's a fun game we play and mommy and daddy don't mind all the extra kisses.

After playing on the toys for a while Owen noticed all the wood chips and thought it would be way more fun to throw them all over the place instead. Owen needs to work on his throw a little though because he lets whatever he's throwing go when his hands are behind his head so his hood had quite a few wood chips in it.

While Owen was playing I thought it would be nice to introduce Jack to the grass. As you can see he's not a big fan. He wouldn't even get into the crawling position. He wanted nothing to do with touching it.
