Park Day

One of my favorite things about living in California (right after the variety of food) is being able to go to the park in the winter without bundling the kids up in snow clothes.

We were at the park a couple of weeks ago with some friends and thought it would be a cute idea to put the siblings in the swings together. It was, as you can see in the pic below. . .

until the time came to get Gavin out of the swing. He'd managed to wedge himself in there pretty tight and was NOT amused when Heather and I both struggled to get him out. I thought we might have to cut the swing apart at one point. It was one of those, "sorta funny, sorta sad" moments.

This is a little demonstration of how slow my camera is when taking successive pictures and how fast Ivy's getting at crawling. This was the first time she crawled around on the playground equipment. Luckily it was like a corridor on the way to the slide so she couldn't slip out.
