Swings and Slides

Yesterday was one of the first really really nice days of spring. So we decided to go to the park not too far away and have Audrey play. We first started out on the Swings and she loved it. but then after a while Audrey gave her "I'm so terrified right now" face and we stopped. I think I was a little too confident in her abilities and swung her a little too high. But until that moment she was laughing and smiling and having the best time. We are going to have to make more trips to the park. Hopefully the temperature stays warm so that we can.





After the swings we took Audrey to the slide. And again she just loved every minute of it. She would giggle when i put her at the top. But then would give her "Terror" face on the way down and then when daddy caught her at the bottom she would break out in giggles again. I don't think I have seen anyone go from complete terror to such joy so fast. It was really really funny to watch.

The red tube

After the slide she played in a red tube for a while. She had so much fun crawling into the tube and emerging on the other side. Since she was so excited about the tube Patrick and i took the opportunity to sit in the shade and let her be free. She stayed at the tube and for a while didn't do anything but sit in it. i think she was in the tube for about 5 minutes before she came out. After about 10 minutes of being on her own she came over to us to say hi and then to leave. to go and play on the tube again. After about 15 minutes she seemed a little bored of the tube and started making her way to the slide again. Patrick decided to pick her up and help her. After about 5 or 6 times down we decided that it was time to leave. But once patrick started to walk away from the slide she started to cry and cry. He decided to let her go down a few more times and then when he started walking away again she started to cry again. But we didn't give in. We needed to get home to go to grandma cannons for dinner.




It was just the cutest thing. She really enjoyed the park and I loved that she enjoyed it so much. Like i said we are going to have to make repeated trips to the park this summer.

Love,

Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey
