A Walk in the Park

We are fortunate enough to live very close to Northam Park.  Northam Park is a lovely park with baseball fields, tennis courts, a pool, playgrounds, and large fields for kids, dogs, and grown-ups to play in.  It is also where the local fireworks display is set-off so we are really in a prime location.  I already know that Kate is going to love being so close to this park.  There are literally FOUR different playgrounds to play on!  There is one at the park, two at the elementary school right next to the park, and another at the church right next to the park.  I can already envision us stopping at all four of them when we go out to play!

We've been on quite a few walks past the playgrounds with Kate, but today was the very first day that we officially stopped to play!  Kate rode down two slides, swung on the baby swing by herself, and swung on the big girl swing with me.  She was way more interested in watching all the other kids playing than she was in sliding or swinging by herself, but it was still a fun stop!  It's only a matter of time before she is running, romping, and jumping like the rest of the kids she was watching!

I ♥ you, baby girl!
