A new park

Grace loves being outside, so Saturday morning (before the temperature hit scorching numbers), I took her to the grounds of a local art museum. She loves running around all over their grounds and picking little blades of grass or sticks. It's so nice that with all the trees it's really shady and quiet. Since it was a spur of the moment decision to break up our errand run, I didn't have a chance to pack up a picnic, but I'll have to next time (picnics are hands down my favorite, especially in early spring and during autumn with all the leaves changing colors - so dreamy!).

Enjoying Nature
Wanting to (take) "picchoo". I let Grace press the camera button a few days ago and now all she wants to do when she sees the camera is take pictures. She comes running toward me with her finger sticking out ready to press the button! Clearly, not ready to leave!

To continue our 4th of july weekend fun, we decided to take Grace to a local park that she had never been to. We have a local park that's designed for easy access by children in wheelchairs. Such a neat concept, I think! Grace had fun checking things out and playing with other children.

Hmmm...this is new. I like this xylophone!!! I like this new type of swing. I think I'll call it my spaceship! (clearly this swing is designed for bigger kiddos :) Meltdown Alert!
Running away from Mama and Daddy 'cause I don't want to leave!!! Thankfully, a sippy cup of ice cold water and some goldfish averted this tantrum :)
