Mornings at the Park

Our kids LOVE the park.  Any park really.  But this summer has been brutal in the heat department-- so bad that several days they've issued heat advisories and closed the POOL so that lifeguards aren't sitting out in it.  It's awful.

But, every once and a while we can get our stuff together and get out of the house before 8:30am and we can beat the heat for about an hour.  The kids love it when we can do this!  We get the park to ourselves, it's not crazy hot yet and they get to play to their hearts' content.


This particular park has gotten very parent friendly and has added several apparatuses to make things so easy.



My favorite is this new swing contraption where you (or your older children) can sit on one side and the baby can sit up in the baby swing.  Pump your legs and you're both swinging!  No more standing around behind the swing to push.  It's amazing.  It's even more amazing that my 6 year old can enjoy it with him while I sit in the shade and watch.  :)
