A day at the park

Playing on the ground

Swinging with my little boy

Daddy's little guy

Love this pic

Such a happy boy

Climbing by myself

Let's slide

He got bored swinging the normal way

Laughing so hard

Loves to swing

The weather was perfect for outside playing today. The sun was shining with a slight breeze, definitley shorts & t-shirt temperature. Logan & I decided to take Stryker for his first park experience. There is a park close to our home with fields, slides, swings, climbing equipment, walking track, etc. I guess we weren't the only families with this idea because the parking lot had several cars. As I pulled Stryker out of his car seat, he was overwhelmed with sounds of laughter from other children. Stryker immediately smiled & wanted down. We sat him in a swing, which he loves to be in at home. He had the biggest grin on his face as the wind blew threw his hair. After swinging, we took him on the slide. The other children kept capturing his attention. But quickly focused back on the task at hand when Logan guided him down the slide. The slide was a hit for the first 4 times & then Stryker quickly got bored wanting to do something else. Logan helped him climb on a chain ladder which he was able to hold on independently for a little bit. There was a square metal climbing ladder (not sure what to call it but the picture is above) that made Stryker laugh non-stop. He would walk all around it (well, holding on with both hands) & play chase with me. It was a blast! Stryker learned to bear crawl! Guess it was a must because the ground was wood chips which must not be very comfortable to the knees. Stryker was able to take about 10 steps while holding onto only one of Logan's fingers! Needless to say, we loved spending some family time together outside & have some wonderful memories. Thank you Lord for a beautiful day!
