At the Park

Rachel and I went to the park this afternoon, just the two of us.  [I would like to clarify that I did NOT choose her clothing!  She was wearing the wild striped pants and a plain shirt.  I told her to go get a sweatshirt and she came back with the polka dotted one because the "colors match".  I couldn't really argue with that!]
Rachel rode her bike.  It's the first time she'd ridden it past our driveway.

She's great at pedaling.

Steering?  Not so much.  Every few yards she'd stop, stand up, and drag the trike back on course.  It's a good thing the park is only a block away.

Rachel is pretty much fearless on the equipment, but she seems to have very good control of her body and does know when something is beyond her limits.  She recently conquered the curved ladder and does it all by herself.

Rae's favorite activity at any park is swinging.  As far as she's concerned parks would be fun if there were ONLY swings.  And we just discovered that she can pump them herself!

Rachel loves the park.  She never wants to leave.

And we both agree that today was a lot of fun.
