A park, a park, I see a park!

One of the things I miss most about military housing is the playground. They are generally less than a 5 minute walk from your front door and well kept. The 18 months in Maryland the parks close by were not safe and the nice ones were a drive.Fast forward to our new place...A PARK! and it is a 3 minute walk from our house. Swings, fire poles, slides of all sizes, obstacle courses, huge open field and of course... DIRT! :o) I hate to admit, but this was Lillian's first time at a real park to play.All three girls were giddy and full of life. Madison was climbing all over the place testing EVERYTHING, Hannah was tagging behind trying to do it all. Lillian was happy as a clam in the swing until I "made the mistake" of taking her the slide. She is one brave girl, not sure I am ready for her to walk right off the slide (note video below!).

A park by the house makes for happy, healthy kids, but also a VERY happy and content mommy!
