Back to COSI & The Park

We headed back to COSI this weekend (here is our first visit) for a little fun and play, and topped the afternoon off at the park.  I love, LOVE the summer!  There are so many things to do and just being able to live outside makes me happy!  Speaking of happy and being outside, I am super impressed with Kate's swinging abilities.  She's two months shy of being three years old and nearly has her "pumps" and "kicks" down.  Girlfriend's got skillz!

I heart this little braid/bow/pony.

Smiling at Daddy-O!

She still looks like my little baby here.

Kate's been loving jumping over a few steps at a time.  I'm not sure where she learned this or what sparked the thrill but it's been a new favorite thing to do.  I typically watch with bated breath.

Running across the bridge with two yellow
plastic balls!

Waiting patiently to "race" them down the slide.

She put them down one at a time!

Learning about moving water!

Once again, without a blue apron.  #oneday

She loved building this water wall.

It was so cute watching her.

And climbing the rock wall.

That little love just melts my heart!

Gettin' some popcorn!

Taste test.

PASSED!  Also, I LOVE this photo!

After naps, we headed to the park to enjoy the hot summer day!

Getting hydrated.  Love the summer flush!

Multi-tasking...

Kate's swingin' skills:

I just love these summer days.
