Playing outside rules!

Earlier this week, I had a short day at work because John had a follow-up appointment for his ears to make sure the tubes still looked good. Thank goodness, his ears looked great and his hearing is great...woo hooo! Well mommy thought it was a perfect day to go to the park and enjoy the nice weather (especially since it was supposed to drop down into the 20's later this week). Of course, we had to stop and get ice cream before heading to the park...how do you go to a park without eating ice cream??

So, we make the trek to the park and John is in heaven! He is loving the park even more than the last time we came which was a few months ago. He immediately starts running around and just beaming with joy. He immediately zoned in on something and started running toward it and pointing his finger, so I thought "oh boy, he's found a cool jungle gym item to play on"...well that "jungle gym" item he was interested in was the fountain in the pond! Needless to say, mommy had to redirect that boy back to the actual playground since we wouldn't be able to play in the water feature...we have to at least wait until it warms up. :)

The second picture shows another prime example of kid toys being made for giants! Not only do we deal with the tricycle with pedals for jolly green giants, but now the water gun at the water park is only intended for toddlers who look like they're 20! Another day of being reminded of height problems for my boy. :( The saving grace was the toddler swings they had...John loved swinging and was may more excited than last time (last time he just clung to me in the swing :)). He had so much fun and the last picture captured his "ooh wow, I'm flying" expression...so funny!
