Park, Pool, Parade, & People

PARK
Leighton has always loved playgrounds, but he especailly enjoys that as he gets older, he is getting to try (and master) all the big kid stuff on the playground. In addition to the new big kid stuff, he has also made the slides more 'big kid'-like too; He not only climbs up them but goes down head first! I love going to the park with him.

When I turn a year older it is slightly disappointing because nothing seems different and I don't feel older. McCabe definetly knows that he turned 1. In addition to talking his frist steps on his birthday, he has become a big boy at the park too. He has gone from sitting on his bottom eating wood chips to climbing stairs and going down slides (though he does this ungracefully and totally out of control).

SPLASH POOL

This week we discovered a new place that I plan to go to regularily. It is for sure one of those activities that Leighton, McCabe and I love! Ashby park has a sweet shallow pool for the kids to play in AND I get to sit in! It was so much fun! I hope to go here so many more times, hopefully weekly!

PARADE FOR THE 4TH

We had a great morning at a fourth of July parade. I was planning to go with the kids since Luke is a very busy on saturdays. To my surpise, when I asked him where to park, he said he wanted to come! Yeah! It was a sweet surprise. Leighton and Daddy were at the street collecting candy and McCabe and I were in the back, trying to take some pictures!

PEOPLE

I feel bad calling this section, 'people', but it went with the P theme! This friday we had several friends over to play outside. Lots of moms and even more kids.

McCabe loves to sit on the picnic table and climb up and down it.

Leighton hardly stops running around playing so I can never seem to get a decent picture of him smiling or even looking at the camera. He is a busy busy boy.
