Our Favorite Park

On Friday, we headed off to one of our favorite parks in the area. Many people around here call it the castle park because the playground looks like a castle. The park also has a splash pad to play in and they finally turned the water on a couple of weeks ago. Alyssa has been begging to go play in the water since the first day they turned it on, so we finally went.
Here is Ashley perfecting her climbing skills.

She is taking a rest after conquering the rock wall. She loves to wear my sunglasses and I've been meaning to get a picture of her with them.

Here she is climbing again. I had only taken my eyes off of her for like 10 seconds and that is how far up she had made it in that time.

Here she is at the top, and very pleased with herself.
Meanwhile, Alyssa was running around in the water getting nice and wet.

Here are Alyssa and Ashley playing together. It doesn't happen very often, but I really enjoy when they have fun together.However, shortly after that Alyssa found a new friend who happened to be wearing the same swimsuit as her. Notice the difference in skin color. Our poor kids are doomed to always have that pasty white skin that burns so easily.

Here is a video clip of the fun they had together. I probably should have gotten the Mom's number or email because Alyssa talked about how much fun she had with her friend for the rest of the day.

It was a fun morning out and nice to have them both so entertained for so long.
