Same Park, Different Days

This weekend was just so beautiful and we had no major plans, so Quinn visited the park down the road from us on Saturday and Sunday mornings!

On Saturday morning, when Kirch was at work, I walked Quinn in the stroller to the park so we could share some mommy-daughter time. It was pretty humid on Saturday, and after an hour we were both sweating up a storm! But Quinn had a blast - I pushed her on the swing for a bit, then she wanted to go to the jungle gym. She's so much more agile than she used to be - she climbed up the steps by herself and just loved going down the slides! And it's hard work chasing after an 18-month-old on those jungle gyms! She had me crawling through tunnels and sliding down slides with her. Whew! If only I had half the energy she has!

On Sunday morning, the weather had cooled down considerably. Kirch, Quinn and I walked to the park again and did the usual swinging, climbing, and running around. It was so much drier out, and when Quinn would slide down the slides, electricity would run through her, causing her hair to stand straight up! It was pretty hysterical - although she didn't care - all she cared about was sliding down those slides! Poor kid, every time we'd grab her, we'd all get shocked! She kept saying "Ow!", it was just too cute!



Later Sunday afternoon we took Quinn over to Jenn & Josh's so Kirch and I could have some time alone together. We just walked from Jenn's to Buca di Beppo for some pizza, and then walked back. But it was nice to be able to share a pizza alone at a restaurant... almost like a date! We don't get much time alone together, so it's very much appreciated when friends or family watch Quinn for a little while :-)

Great photos! Especially "peek-a-boo" and the one where she's just at the bottom of the slide. Cute!
