Fun at the Park

This is long overdue, but a few weeks back I decided to take John to our neighborhood park. I've driven by there 1,000 times, but I don't know why I hadn't realized that he would LOVE to go and play there. So, we took a special trip over there one day when it was still warm outside. He was definitely overwhelmed right at first, there were so many fun things to play with. He of course went straight for the flowers....all these fun slides and swings and he wants to play with the flowers. Oh well, admiring nature is a good thing! :)

While we were out there, some older kids went to the splash park area and turned the water on. It mainly just has little streams of water that come up from the ground and some buckets that fill with water and tip over. Well, our little Johnny Boy made a beeline for the water and wanted to play in it so badly. I wasn't quite sure what to do...he was in regular clothes and I didn't have a towel. But if you had seen his excited little face and eyes full of anticipation, you would have done the same thing I did. Stripped him down of his shirt and shoes and let him run through the water. :) He had SO MUCH fun...just couldn't get enough of the water. He was quite curious at the holes the water was coming out of, so he would stick his finger in it, which of course caused the water to spray everywhere, and then laughed hysterically. :) That's my boy! I knew it was time to leave when his soggy little diaper was practically dragging the ground! So we eventually had to leave the water playland.

Anyway, it was a wonderful day at the park and we had several more of those outings. The first picture is him after we left the park and got back into the car...is that a happy face or what??? Notice the lovely wet hair...and did I mention that mommy became the human towel for him? :) I did remember a towel and swim trunks the next time. Stay tuned for more of those pictures.

I love the saggy bottoms! He is just the cutest little boy. How can you ever say no to those big blue eyes?! Do they know they can have anything they want? haha!
