A trip to the park

The girls enjoyed a lovely trip to the park this past weekend.  It is one of our favorites about 15 minutes from Winston in Kernersville.  The ground is made of rubber mulch which is definitely a plus - no sand to brush off the girls.  

I can't tell who is more scared?  I don't think Maddie has quite figured out what is about to happen.





Moriah is a bit excited...can you tell she REALLY loves her sister?


I'm so proud of Mo.  Just 3 weeks ago I could barely get her to go down the slide on her own. Everytime we went to the park, she would steer clear of the slides...which left for swinging, and more swinging.  Finally 2 weeks ago she watched Claire (who is 17 months) go down on her own which convinced her that maybe she too could do it!  That same day at the park I looked for Mo and found her dangling from one of the openings of the playground equipment, about 4 feet in the air.  Another mom and I quick ran to catch her from falling to the ground.  The mother commented, "Saw that coming."  Not me.  Mo just started sliding - how was I to know she'd take up bungee jumping the same day?

Porcupines

Yesterday was a beautiful day - we sat out in the backyard for an hour before packing a picnic and heading to the park. While outside Moriah was concerned about Madelyn playing in the grass. "Is it porky on Maddie's toes?" Porky? Jeremy looked at me and said "prickly" and I guessed "pokey". An hour later while driving the topic came up again. "Dad (Moriah now calls Jer dad although we prefer the endearing term Papa), the grass is porky like porkypines!" Aha! That explains it!

More pictures from the park to come soon...
