Parking

Parking, you know, the kind you do after you have kids;)

For starters, we have our own private park we have here at my parents home! There is lots of room for little ones to run and play.
We are really enjoying the back yard.
There is a tetherball (do you remember those? They were SO cool in elementary school) and Naomi and James were playing with the ball after dinner today.
Naomi gave the ball a big push and it swung around and popped James smack on the side of his head. He bounced off the ball to the ground. He was not a happy camper. Poor kid.
But as soon as I picked him up to give him hugs and make it all better, you know, like mommy's do, he wanted to get down. He was going back for more, or to show that ball who's boss!




Wild Flowers, both kinds;)




Willow Park and Ryan's Place Park are some of our favorites around here.
Ryan's Place has the coolest places to climb, explore, slide, pretty much everything a kid could dream of.

And Willow Park, need I say more? It's a mini zoo. There are a lot of birds and tons of ducks. Ducks. James has just a small obsession with ducks. It was his first word. That pretty much says it all. He could have stayed there for hours watching them waddle. He really wanted to climb the fence and play with them. Maybe next time baby.
