First day at the Park

We experienced our first day at the park this year. Remember it was Iowa style which means it included:

*hats, coats, and gloves

*runny noses

*socks and shoes

The kids had fun but it was a little too cold to be out there for too long. Here are some pictures of my kids and how they reacted to some swinging time:

McKell:

She didn't want to go too high. Wanted to be in control the whole time telling me push me 3 times and if I would do it 4 she would start screaming, if I pushed her 3 times but they were really hard, she would freak out. She is very much like her father in the risk taking area.

Alyssa:

She usually likes to do everything the same as McKell. But today she was feeling her adventurous self and wanted to be pushed as high as possible. She was having so much fun going higher and higher.

Nate:

Nate was just happy being outside. At first he just liked hanging out in the stroller, then he noticed all the fun going on at the swings so I gave him a turn. He absolutely loved it. He didn't care if it was high or not he loved it. The girls would make faces at him and he loved it. He really had a great time.

So fun! I hope the weather finally gets warm! I'm so ready for summer! I think McKell is a riot, so specific on how she wants pushed on the swing-too funny!

Gotta love Spring! The playground pics reminded me of going to the playground in Milwaukee. Lots of fun! How close are you? Can you walk to the park?

What? Phil is totally a risk taker, he went skiing without a helmet. And one time I saw him running by a swimming pool and he went out in the rain without an umbrella, that's very adventurous.

I love the pictures. I was totally laughing about Mckell. It reminded me of last summer on the big blowup slide. Remember she didn't like the top slide much :) She is too funny.
