The BIG slide

Lauren and I had some time to kill on Monday while the people that are in the process of buying our house measured the windows. It was so nice, we headed down to the park (gosh I'm gonna miss that park!). She had decided to take a brief nap, so we walked the loop first. Then she woke up just in time for the play equipment.

Here she is showing off her mastery of stairs.

Tah Dah! At the top of the BIG slide....it's not that tall....plus it was a little wet so it was REALLY slow!

Ready....

Set.....

Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Once it was a little drier, she got to the point where she knew if she threw herself onto the slide, she'd go faster! Smarty pants!

So a quick park story: There were 2 twin boys that showed up who were 22 months. Lauren loved them. They were rough and tumble boys.....no frills. All 3 of them would take turns going down the slides and knock into each other. Or climb up the slide and knock the others down like bowling pins. Or better yet, try to race each other up the stairs. She was laughing hysterically. Another family showed up with 2 girls. Lauren tried to befriend one of them and she was giving the "Don't touch me!" vibe. Well, I knew it was getting close to lunch and the people were done at the house. So we strapped back into the jogger and headed out. Just as we do that, one of the twins started playing with the little girl as if she were Lauren. Her screams could be heard across the park. Poor thing. Guess she's not as tough as our TOM BOY!!!!
