Playtime at the Park

Today Aunt Kara and Uncle Shane were out of school for an inservice day, so they decided to come over and play!! It was such a beautiful day out and the first time in weeks that it was fairly warm, so we decided to get out of the house. We went for a walk around the neighborhood, and then decided to walk over to the playground that is right down from our house.

Kara and Shane had a blast playing hard and burning off all of that energy!


Summer enjoyed watching them act goofy, here she is laughing at them. I know she'll be happy when she can get down and chase after them as well :)



This was Summer's first time going to the playground, so I wanted to take her down the slide for her first time!! I know there will be plenty more trips down this slide in our future.

"Weee!!! I did it :) "

Me and my girl relaxing while the kids play.


Since Summer couldn't get down and play with the big kids, she found other ways to have fun. Here she is playing with her puppy dog.

Then we went down to the creek by our house. Here are Kara and Shane throwing rocks into the water :

Summer and I found a big rock to sit on in the creek so that we could watch the kids playing. It was so beautiful down there. We'll have to go back and bring our bathing suits when it gets warmer out :)

After playing hard, we walked back home to eat some lunch. It was still so beautiful out that I didn't want to waste it by staying inside all day. Kara and Shane decided to play a game of hide and go seek outside, they just weren't allowed to leave our cul-de-sac. Summer girl and I sat on the porch and played with the dogs while they were doing that.

Summer is infatuated by dogs right now. She LOVES them and cannot stop giggling when they're around. I know she would love it if she could chase after our dogs, because everytime they are near she reaches her hand out to touch them, and then when they give her kisses on the hand she starts laughing even more. She even loves watching cartoons that have dogs in them. Pluto is her very favorite, she starts squealing when he comes on tv - it's hilarious to watch!

I put Summer in her little seat so that she could be down closer to the dogs and she had a blast watching them. I never got a picture of her touching our dogs because they ran off everytime, but here she is playing outside with them :

Having so much fun!!

What a happy girl :)
